The Kolkata police arrested retired Army officer Col Anil Menon (55) for allegedly uploading pictures of one of his women friends on the Internet and circulating them on social media without her permission.

According to the police, Menon, who hails from Kerala, had befriended several women during his tenure all over the country. Recently, he had been to Kolkata where he forced a woman to dance with him at a party. When she refused, Menon, who was angry, allegedly posted her personal pictures online and passed lewd remarks. He allegedly shared those pictures with his friends on WhatsApp as well.

When the woman learnt about Menon’s campaign against her, she lodged a complaint with the Kolkata police. Menon, who operates a security firm in Bengaluru, was arrested with the assistance of the local police.
