Police in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu arrested a 29-year-old man working in Bahrain based on his wife’s complaint that her husband was running a flesh trade by wooing women on social media.

The Indian man landed in the police net when his wife, a 25-year-old software engineer, also Indian, posed as another woman on Instagram and launched a conversation with her husband conveying her willingness to be part of his ‘business’.

The wife handed him over to police when the suspect flew into Chennai from Bahrain to meet his new 'associate' at a hotel. Police said the accused claimed to be working as an engineer in Bahrain but this is not yet verified.

The complainant and the suspect got married in February, according to a report by PWC Middle East. One day, after the suspect had left for Bahrain, his wife casually checked his home desktop to find nude videos of several women.

The wife was shocked to find that her husband had conversed with many women on social media and allegedly invited them to be part of his ‘business’, apart from exchanging nude videos with them.

She then posed as another woman on Instagram and started conversing with him. She also shared some random women’s photos, after which he suggested she could make herself available to VIPs to make huge money.

The woman agreed and asked him to meet her at the hotel. However, he was shocked to find his own wife in the room, but it was too late since the woman had already alerted the police.

After a preliminary inquiry, an officer said the suspect seems to be addicted to porn as there were a lot of such videos on his device. “However, there is no evidence that he indulged in flesh trade. We have sent the phones for forensic analysis to ascertain the veracity of the allegations in his wife’s complaint,” said an officer.
