Mumbai: A 31-year-old Uttar Pradesh resident was arrested after he walked into a trap laid by the father of a girl who was allegedly stalked and harassed by him. The man is identified as Krishna Baghel. As per reports, Krishna allegedly morphed the woman’s face onto an objectionable picture. He later posted that ‘nude’ photograph online when she rejected his proposal for marriage.

On a Facebook post shared on July 26, Krishna wrote that: “Ram, Ram all my friends…I am going to Mumbai Bollywood movie shoot (sic)…Mai Hu Auto Wala.” However, in a classic twist to this ‘script’, it was the victim’s father who had lured him to Mumbai with a movie offer.

Krishna and the victim became Facebook friends about six months ago. He told the girl that he was an actor and video editor based in Agra. In her police complaint, the 22-year-old girl said that Krishna got annoyed when she rejected his marriage proposal. In fact, she alleged that he morphed a nude photo with her face. The accused sent the nude pictures to her friends on various social media platforms. Not only this, the accused used to repeatedly threaten the victim. After that, she decided to take an action and filed an FIR with the police on July 20.

After listening to her ordeal, the father of the victim decided to intervene as well. While keeping police in the know, he called the accused and introduced himself as a Mumbai-based producer. He said he was looking for an actor for the protagonist’s role in a movie titled ‘Mai hu Auto Wala’.
