A voyeuristic man who allegedly photographed women while they were taking showers and blackmailed them by threatening to post the images on the internet has been nabbed by the Bengaluru city police.
Parameshwar, a school drop-out, was arrested last week by a special team set up following a complaint by a man that the accused had threatened to make public his wife's nude photograph, Police Commissioner Jyoti Prakash Mirji said.
He used to climb on to ledges of windows or adjoining terraces and take photographs of women while bathing or undressing in their homes on his mobile phone or camera, Mirji told reporters here today.
He would then make CDs of these images, send them to his victims' residence with his mobile number and blackmail them to part with huge amounts, threatening that otherwise he would post the photographs on the internet.
