Baghpat, Sep 2: A man here has been detained for allegedly threatening to upload private pictures of a woman on social media and kill her family members, police said on Friday.

“He also threatened to put private pictures of their daughter on social media,” Superintendent of Police (SP), Baghpat, Neeraj Jaudaun said. Based on the complaint, police lodged an FIR at Khekra Police Station and detained the accused on Thursday.

The woman was sent back to her family and a final report in the matter was filed, the SP said. According to police, the woman had earlier in the year also run away with the accused, but returned later. No police complaint was filed in that incident, the SP said.
