The Cyberabad police arrested a 21 years old engineering student from the posh Banjara Hills area in Hyderabad. The youth over a period of 18 months befriended nearly 200 school girls on Facebook and lured them into sharing their nude pictures on the social networking site.

Abdul Majid, son of a pan shop owner, opened eight different fake Facebook accounts posing to be a girl. Majid struck a rapport with these girls and sweet talked most of them into sharing their secrets.

He used the screenshots of their secrets to blackmail them into sending more nude photos. He also threatened to upload all the pictures on to pornographic websites or post the online chat on their Facebook wall so that everybody on the list could view it.



According to a report in the NewsMinute , Majid also extorted Rs 86,000 from a victim. The report adds that an intermediate student from a city college who was threatened by Majid openly spoke about the incident. It was only when a victim's mother approached the Cyberabad Police that he was finally taken into custody.
