CHENNAI: Police on Sunday arrested a 32-year-old man for posting photographs of himself with his former girlfriend on social media to threaten the woman after her family called off their marriage.
Investigators said the 23-year-old woman's parents, residents of Valasaravakkam, refused to allow the marriage to go ahead after they discovered that Anthony Rajesh Kumar, who had come to the city from Tuticorin and was a salesman at a Mambalam textile showroom, already had a wife and child.
Their daughter worked in a shop next to the showroom where Kumar worked. They met and she agreed to marry him," a police officer said. "She informed her parents about him. When her parents told Kumar that they'd like to meet his family, he claimed to be an orphan."
They grew suspicious, made enquiries in Tuticorin and learned that he was married and had a child.
"The woman's parents called off the wedding and searched for another man for their daughter," the officer said. "Soon after they found a suitable groom, Kumar posted photographs he had taken with the woman on networking sites. The prospective groom saw the pictures and refused to marry the woman."
The woman's family asked Kumar to remove the pictures from the internet but he rebuffed them. The family lodged a complaint with the Valasaravakkam police, who arrested Kumar from Coimbatore, where he had found a new job.
