The Antop Hill police arrested and booked a college student from Jamnagar in Gujarat for allegedly blackmailing and sexually harassing a Mumbai-based minor girl through social media; however, he was later released after being served a notice, police said.

The accused allegedly blackmailed the minor with her morphed photographs and pressured her into severing ties with one of her male friends.

The victim, a 15-year-old girl, had an account on Snapchat through which the duo connected. According to the police, the girl's father received a call from an unknown number, during which the accused, a 19-year-old man, claimed to have obscene photographs of his daughter. He allegedly threatened to upload the images across social media platforms, demanding that the girl stop communicating with a boy from her class.
