A 34-year-old computer engineer from Pune has been arrested by the Samta Nagar police for making obscene calls to receptionists of five star hotels and hospitals. According to the police, the accused used to take numbers from Google and call the receptionists for an "erotic talk". The accused, Rajiv Bhatia, who has been booked and arrested under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) hails from Rajasthan. The police said Bhatia is married with two kids and was staying in Pune, where he worked at a reputed firm.
