Man held for circulating obscene visuals of estranged wife in Kochi
Kochi (PTI): A 28-year-old man was arrested for allegedly circulating obscene photos and videos of his estranged wife on social media in Perumbavoor, police said on Sunday.
The accused, identified as Sharook A B, a resident of Kalamassery, had been living separately from his wife due to marital issues, police said.
In February this year, a case was registered based on the woman’s complaint after she discovered that her private visuals had been shared on a social media platform while she was staying at a rented house in Perumbavoor.
The case was booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act, police added
Sharook, who had been absconding since the incident, was arrested on Friday night. He was later produced in a court and remanded to judicial custody.

Regret participating in 'movement' that vilified ex-PM Manmohan Singh: Prashant Bhushan
New Delhi: Senior advocate and activist Prashant Bhushan has expressed regret over his past role in political movements that, he said, contributed to the vilification of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Bhushan made the remarks in a post on social media on the first death anniversary of Manmohan Singh.
In his post, Bhushan described Manmohan Singh as “a humble, decent, well educated and well meaning man,” adding that the former prime minister’s humility and decency were “seen as a weakness.” He said he regretted having participated in a movement that helped discredit Singh and, in his words, “helped a rogue regime come to power.”
Bhushan’s statement is widely seen as a reference to the anti-corruption movement that gained momentum during the second United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, when Manmohan Singh was prime minister. The movement, led by civil society activists, had targeted corruption allegations against the government and eventually reshaped India’s political landscape. Critics have since argued that the campaign contributed to undermining Singh’s leadership and paved the way for a change in government at the Centre.
Manmohan Singh, who served as prime minister from 2004 to 2014, was known for his low-profile style, technocratic approach and role in shaping India’s economic reforms.
He was a humble, decent, well educated & well meaning man. His humility & decency was seen as a weakness.
