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.

Mumbai (PTI): Police on Sunday detained some Aam Aadmi Party activists in Mumbai after they staged a demonstration against Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha, who has crossed over to the BJP, in Khar area.

Aam Aadmi Party's Mumbai unit president Preeti Sharma Menon claimed the police prevented AAP workers from protesting peacefully against "traitor" Chadha and detained local leader Ruben Mascharanhas.

A Khar Police official confirmed that Mascharanhas and some other activists have been taken to the police station, without elaborating.

"⁦@CPMumbaiPolice⁩ @mumbaipolice has no other work but to guard Raghav Chaddha’s Mumbai residence. @aapmumbai volunteers were prevented from protesting peacefully against the GADDAR. Ruben has been detained at the Khar Police Station. But BJP is allowed to block roads at their whim," Menon stated.

The AAP's Mumbai unit had planned a protest in the Khar area against Chadha and six other Rajya Sabha MPs of the party who recently joined the BJP.

"Without any detention order or any written communication, I have been taken to the Khar Police Station. Why is @MumbaiPolice so scared of @AAPMumbai's peaceful protest against 'Gaddar' Raghav Chaddha and Sandeep Pathak? We are @ArvindKejriwal's soldiers, we are not going to be cowed down," Mascharanhas said in another post.

The AAP suffered a jolt on Friday when seven of its Rajya Sabha members, including Chadha, Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak, quit the party, with Chadha saying all of them have merged with the BJP, asserting that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party had strayed from its principles, values and core morals.
