Mumbai’s cyber police have arrested a 33-year-old man from Rajasthan for allegedly posing as a woman and trying to blackmail Shiv Sena MLA Mangesh Kudalkar with a morphed obscene video of his. Two other accused are absconding.

The accused, pretending to be a woman, contacted the MLA via Facebook on October 19 and claimed to be in trouble. The imposter asked for help and sought his phone number. The MLA shared his contact details and the next day, the accused shared a morphed video of the MLA and a woman, and demanded money.
