Hyderabad: The cyber crime police of the CID on Friday arrested a software engineer for allegedly harassing a girl by sending her abusive emails and SMSs.
The accused, Harihara Kumar, 25, of Ramanthapur is a network administrator at an IT firm at Gachibowli. On June 2, the victim, who is Kumar's close relative, complained to the cyber police that she, her friends and family members were receiving abusive emails and SMSs from anonymous persons.
The police obtained email log data, and mobile phone SMS data of the accused from the service providers. As he used SIM cards obtained on fake ID proofs, they found it difficult to track him down. Finally, after questioning several people, they arrested him on Thursday. Police said he bore a grudge against the victim, an engineering student, as she had rejected his marriage proposal.
He hacked into her mail account and created a fake Facebook account in her name and started maligning her character. The court remanded him in judicial custody.
