Mumbai, Feb 27: Three persons, including a tuition teacher, have been arrested for allegedly touching minors and women inappropriately in public places and using obscene language on the pretext of shooting “prank videos”, police said on Saturday.
The trio allegedly uploaded these videos on social media and video-sharing websites and earned at least Rs 2 crore during the COVID-19-induced lockdown with revenue generated from the sites and advertisements, an official said. The cyber police station received a complaint that some men were shooting videos of women and minors, in which male characters touch them inappropriately and use obscene language, joint commissioner of police (Crime) Milind Bharambe said.
The victims in these videos lodged a complaint against the accused and accordingly, an FIR was registered against them, he said. (PTI)
