Man held for blackmailing girl in Vellore

Vinod Kumar of Thottapalayam in Vellore was in love with a 25-year old girl who resided in the same locality. Although he professed his love for her many times, she rebutted him stating that she was not interested, police said.

Dejected by this, Vinod got the girl’s photo through a friend and then morphed the photo to appear as if both were together. Showing the morphed photo to the girl, Vinod demanded that she marry him. However, the girl complained to her father who in turn approached the Vellore north police.
