The Navi Mumbai police in Maharashtra have registered a case against a man for sexually harassing a 15-year-old girl after befriending her on social media, an official said on Thursday.Â
Between November 2022 and June 2023, accused Altaf Sheikh first allegedly coaxed the minor to share a few semi-nude photos of her with him. He then demanded more such pictures threatening to make the earlier one viral if she didn바카라™t comply.Â
