Sourav Hazra, 25, was arrested on Friday for allegedly posting an indecent profile of a woman on social networking website Orkut and sending her lewd text messages.

The married woman, a friend of Sourav’s from college, was flooded with indecent “scraps”. Her husband Manab Mukherjee lodged a complaint with the cyber crime cell of the detective department about the fake profile in February. The cops got in touch with Orkut and got the profile deleted.

But the lewd text messages continued. Cops later found that the cellphone number was registered under Sourav’s name and arrested him.
