"Goklani then created a fake account on Instagram and posted inappropriate photographs and videos of the woman.

On Tuesday, the woman and her sister reached the MHB police station and broke into tears while narrating their ordeal.

"The complainant and her older sister were in tears when they visited the police station on Tuesday. They said that obscene texts were sent to their family members and their phone numbers were posted with obscene messages on web portals," the officer added. The cops immediately swung into action and found that the IP address used to create fake account belonged to Goklani.

The accused was arrested on Wednesday and produced before a court. He has been sent to police custody for two days. The police were looking if Goklani harassed other women using same methods.
