LOHARDAGA: A 22-year-old student and his girlfriend, with whom he was living together, were arrested and sent to judicial custody in Lohardaga on Monday for allegedly making an obscene video involving them and circulating it through MMS.
Following a tip-off, Town police arrested intermediate student of Kisko Inter College, Vinod Asur, and his friend from Raghunandan Lane area.
The duo were staying together in a rented house at Madhuban area in town and were caught with the obscene video CD. The boy belongs to the near-extinct primitive Asur tribe.
"Police raided the house, nabbed the two and seized a VCD from them on Sunday. They admitted their crime and were forwarded to judicial custody on Monday," said SP Jitendra Kumar Singh. Since there was no complainant, the Town police lodged an FIR on their own.
Local people are talking of seven obscene video clips on their mobiles. Of them, two were brought to the notice of police. In one of the clips, Vinod and his girl friend were involved and a young sportsperson had a hand in the other.
Police sources said the sportsperson had already been interrogated. He is reported to be absconding now and raids are on to locate him. "We are on the lookout for more such mischief-mongers," the SP said adding that no details of this case could be made public unless police arrive at a conclusion.
