Scrutiny of phone reveals he had over 200 obscene videos
The city police made a major haul of child pornographic videos from a petty shopowner at T.P. Chathram here. The scrutiny of the mobile phone of Perumal, 48, who was initially booked for possessing ‘gutka’ sachets at his shop, revealed that he had more than 200 videos. On Saturday, a police team, led by T.P Chatram inspector E. Rajeswari, found a few sachets of ‘gutka’ and ‘mava’ at the shop and seized them. Perumal was about to be released on bail. While conducting the investigation, the inspector wanted to scrutinise his mobile phone, which he refused to hand over. The police forcibly took away his phone, scrutinised it and found the videos. Further scrutiny revealed that the perpetrator in some of these videos was Perumal. He was sexually assaulting the victims, who were minor girls, in the presence of two women.More Related News
