The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested two Bhiwandi-based men, who befriended a 10-year-old girl on Snapchat and WhatsApp, and then started threatening her to send nude photos of herself. Both the accused had allegedly told the girl that they would kill her parents, if she didn’t comply.
According to the Mumbai Crime Branch, a 10-year-old girl living with her parents in a western suburb was attending an online class, when she received a message from one of the accused, on Snapchat. The two gradually became friends. During one of their conversations, the man sent her a photo in the buff, and asked her to send hers as well.
