The accused — Harish Jaiswal (42) and Mukesh Pandey (28) — were allegedly defaming the actress on a social networking website since the past three months.

When the actress could not bear the abuse any further, she decided to teach the duo a lesson and recorded their conversation on her mobile phone. She then approached Versova police and lodged a complaint against the two.

“The FIR was registered against the duo based on the mobile phone recording,” said Sharad Borse, senior PI of Versova police station.

Police arrested the duo and presented them before the court yesterday. Both Jaiswal and Pandey have been remanded in police custody till Monday.

“We have seized the computers of the duo to match the IP address from which the comments were posted. Besides, we are also trying to find out if they have committed a similar crime in the past,” an officer from Versova police station said.
