NEW DELHI: A 60-year-old food delivery man who allegedly sent vulgar messages to a woman on WhatsApp and other platforms was arrested, police said on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Ram Chander Shukla, a resident of Gokulpuri, they said.
A woman lodged a complaint with the police alleging that someone was sending her vulgar messages on WhatsApp, Telegram and e-mail accounts, PTI quoted additional deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Hemant Tiwari as saying.
During the investigation, it was found that the e-mail ID used by the accused was linked with a mobile number, which was registered in the name of Ram Chandra Shukla.
A notice was served to Shukla and he joined the investigation, Tiwari said.
The accused disclosed that he worked as a food delivery person, the DCP said, and he also earlier drew an auto-rickshaw.
Shukla said he stored mobile numbers of woman customers who used their cell phones to book auto-rickshaw or food orders, or make payments.
He then sent vulgar/obscene messages to the victims, Tiwari said.
It has come to notice that Shukla got the woman's number when the victim hired his auto-rickshaw, he said.
Further investigation is in progress and his other victims are being identified, police said.
