The Ahmedabad resident arrested by Vakola Police earlier this month for allegedly blackmailing teenage girls by morphing their pictures had done so with more than 200 girls, an investigation into the matter has revealed. The police have found around 1,800 contacts in his phone, some of whom have been identified.

The Std XII dropout, Janam Porwal, with his knowledge in Information Technology, would download his victims' pictures from social media to morph it for porn sites. He would then send these pictures back to the victims and force them to video chat with him, threatening to make their pictures public. Most teenage girls, out of fear, would fall into his trap, and even share their personal mobile numbers with the accused.
