Mumbai: Police have arrested a freelance journalist for allegedly sending obscene phone messages to aspiring actress and dancer Nandini Jumani.
Police in Oshiwada in western suburban Mumbai said Flynn Remedios, a freelance journalist, was arrested for sending vulgar text messages to actress Jumani, popularly known as "Krazy Kat".
"We have arrested Remedios under section 345 of the Indian Penal Code [outraging the modesty of a woman] and section 509 [making lewd gestures to a woman]."
"Remedios will be produced at the metropolitan magistrate's court," said Senior Police Inspector Dilip Patil of the Shower police station.
"Remedios was earlier employed as Jumani's public relations officer but he recently lost his job and started sending her [Jumani] lewd phone messages.
"After the actress filed the complaint with us we investigated and arrested Remedios on Thursday evening," Patil added.
