A 31-year-old man,who made abusive phone calls to the daughter of senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu,was arrested on Saturday night,the police said. Ramesh Kumar,an engineering graduate,was held on a complaint from Deepa Venkat,a businesswoman.
Venkat,in her complaint,had said she was getting frequent abusive and menacing calls from a particular mobile number. The police first blocked the number from which the calls originated.
They found that the number belonged to a woman from Thirumullaivoyal here. She told the police that she had lost her SIM card a year ago but did not file a complaint. The phone was later traced to Kumar with the help of the IMEI international mobile station equipment identity number and he was nabbed late Saturday night,the police said.
The police said Kumar was earlier arrested on a complaint from a girl who had rejected his advances. Kumar,who stumbled upon the lost SIM card,used it to make the abusive calls.
