Man in Bengaluru held for sexually harassing television actor by sending her lewd messages
Bengaluru: Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police on Monday arrested a man who is accused of sexually harassing a television actor by sending obscene messages and video clips to her Facebook account.
As per a report in Deccan Herald, the actor has worked in Kannada and Telugu serials. The arrested man, Naveen K, who called himself ‘Naveenz’ on Facebook, had been harassing the actor for three months, a senior officer has said.
The actor ignored a friend request sent by Naveen, after which, the man started sending her lewd messages on Facebook. The actor then warned him not to do so, but the warning was ignored and the victim continued receiving the obscene messages as well as video clips, of his private parts too.
The man created multiple fake profiles as the victim blocked his account, and continued the harassment.
As a last resort, the actor met Naveen near a hotel in Nagarbhavi on Saturday, November 1, and warned him not to trouble her on social media, but he again sidelined her warning and continued to harass her.
The actor then filed a complaint with Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police, who registered a case. Based on the details provided by her, Naveen was arrested. He has been sent to judicial custody.

CM launches poster campaign 'Justice for Karnataka'
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday released nine posters as part of a campaign: ‘Justice for Karnataka. Fair Share–Strong Federalism’ asking the Centre to heed state's demands.
These posters highlight key demands placed before the Finance Commission: Restoring Karnataka’s fair tax share; correcting unjust income, population and GSDP criteria; ensuring fair disaster and ecological support; strengthening decentralisation; providing dedicated infrastructure support for Bengaluru; supporting backward regions like Kalyana Karnataka; and upholding the constitutional spirit of cooperative federalism, Siddaramaiah said.
In a statement, Siddaramaiah said his government has placed its legitimate and constitutionally grounded demands before the 16th Finance Commission, seeking justice in tax devolution and fiscal federalism.
“We hope that the 16th Finance Commission reflects these concerns fairly in its recommendations, and that the Union Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi implements them in letter and spirit, without subjecting Karnataka to petty politics or discrimination, as has unfortunately happened in the past,” the chief minister said.
Siddaramaiah underlined that Karnataka is among the country’s highest contributors to national revenues, yet its share in tax devolution was earlier reduced from 4.71 per cent to 3.64 per cent causing a loss of nearly Rs 80,000 crore.
"Flawed formulas that penalise development and population control, unrealistic GSDP calculations, inadequate disaster support, unchecked cesses and surcharges, denial of GST compensation, and non-release of recommended grants have collectively weakened the state’s finances," Siddaramaiah charged.
