Balasore: Odisha Police have arrested a man from Jamshedpur for allegedly posting obscene photos and videos of his wife on social media after she refused to accept his proposal.
The man, identified as Bishwanath Giri of Taladhanada village in Odisha’s Balasore district, has also been accused of forcing his wife to have physical relations with other men by threatening to make the visuals viral.
Sources said Bishwanath took his wife to Jamshedpur after their marriage and both lived there together.
It was alleged that Bishwanath recorded intimate moments with his wife on his mobile phone without her knowledge. He then allegedly asked her to establish physical relations with other men. He threatened to upload the photos and videos on social media when she refused.
