Man who threatened to ‘cyber rape’ Urfi Javed is now behind bars

Actress and 'Bigg Boss OTT' fame Urfi Javed took to Instagram on Tuesday to inform that the man, against whom she had filed an FIR has been arrested.

Urfi shared a picture of the man on her Instagram stories and wrote, "Good news! This molester is behind the bars! Thanku @mumbaipolice."

Urfi penned a long note on her social media on Sunday, claiming that she was being harassed by a man and being threatened with morphed pictures.

She had also shared her WhatsApp chats with the accused and his pictures on her official Instagram handle, and wrote, "So this man has been harassing me for so long and now I had it. 2 years back someone morphed my photo and started distributing it, I had already filed a police complaint about that 2 years back and I went through hell at that time. This man got a hold of that picture and had been blackmailing me to have video sex with him or else he will distribute the picture on various Bollywood pages and ruin my career. Yes, he was blackmailing me to cyber rape me (that’s the word for it)."

Urfi had also expressed her disappointment over the Mumbai Police's way of handling the case.

"I filed an F.I.R on 1st at Goregaon police station @mumbaipolice. It’s been 14 days no action has been taken till yet! I’m so so disappointed. I had heard so many good things about @mumbaipolice but their attitude towards this man is weird. Even after informing them that he has done with how many women, still no action," she wrote.

Urfi further shared that the accused is now freely working in the Punjabi film industry and called him a threat to the society.

On the work front, Urfi is known for her work in shows such as 'Bade Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania', 'Meri Durga', 'Bepannaah' and 'Puncch Beat Season 2'.
