The police have arrested a DMK IT Wing office bearer belonging to Thirupatthur district for sending pornographic material to a 17 year old girl and circulating edited pictures of him along with the girl.
Ajith, son of Ponnusaamy hails from Mittalam village near Ambur. He works as a DMK IT Wing panchayat coordinator.
He was earlier arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act for kidnapping a minor girl belonging to the same region and was released on bail a few days back.
After getting released, he had sent pornographic material to another 17-year-old girl and also circulated edited pictures of him with the girl.
Krishnamurthy, who had confronted Ajith on the matter, was given death threats by the latter. Krishnamurthy then filed a complaint at the police station against Ajith.
Following this, the Umarabad police arrested Ajith and charged him under the POCSO Act apart from slapping charges for issuing death threats. He was later produced in the Ambur Criminal Court and sent to Vellore jail.
