''The accused was using multiple IDs to stalk over 100 women. He also made video calls over the Messenger showing his body parts,'' Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Amit Goyal said. During interrogation, Kumar disclosed that he was addicted to watching porn videos. He used to send vulgar and obscene messages and videos to lure women for a sexual favour. He has been doing this for the past six to seven months, police said. He also disclosed that so far, he has created three fake profiles. By using these profiles, he used to send messages to random women in order to initiate a conversation posing as a woman, Goyal said. After a few chats, he used to send obscene videos and messages to them.
