| Left: Accused Abbuzar Rehman Right: Spanish Actor Manu Rios |
On Wednesday, the Cyber Police branch of Delhi arrested a man for allegedly impersonating Spanish actor Manu Rios to trap young girls from social media.
According to the police, the accused has been identified as Abbuzar Rehman (22). He tried extorting money as he threatened to leak pictures of these girls.
The police recovered three sim cards, one memory card and two mobile phones from his possession.
It has been alleged that he introduced himself as a small time Spanish actor. After some time, she became her friend and shared her private pictures with her.
- The accused then started to demand money from her and threaten to leak the pictures online if she failed to do so. When the complainant did not budge to his demands, the accused made a fake ID of the complainant, using one of her private pictures and shared the same to threaten her.
During interrogation Abbuzar revealed that he made a fake account using Manu Rios photographs to grab the attention of young girls and starting sending them messages. He would even use translation during the course of interaction as he didn't knew the English language well.
Further investigation is underway.
