New Delhi, Delhi police arrested a 31-year-old man for harassing over 1,500 women by sending them vulgar messages and obscene video clips through WhatsApp almost every night.

The accused had phone numbers of 2,000 women and girls living in the Delhi national capital region (NCR), and 60GB of porn content on his phones, said police.

According to reports, 31-year-old Mohammad Khalid would randomly dial a number and call people. If it turned out to be a woman, he would immediately save the number and then start sending her porn videos, dirty messages and photos every night, just for fun.

A police team investigating a case registered on May 30 by a woman at Ashok Vihar police station in North West Delhi, arrested accused Mohammad Khalid from his father’s bag shop in Sadar Bazar area, said Vijay Singh, DCP (North West).

During interrogation, Khalid said he used to make random calls on Delhi NCR mobile numbers. If the call was received by a woman or a girl, he used to save it and then through WhatsApp viewed their profile picture. If he liked the woman or girl, he would start sending vulgar messages and obscene video clips through WhatsApp, said the officer.

The police recovered three prepaid SIM cards from his possession and they were all registered under fake names.

According to police, Khalid was suffering from depression as he faced repeated rejection from women owing to his short height – 4 feet 10 inches.

Complaints were also found against Khalid lodged at women helpline numbers at different police stations in and around Delhi, police added.
