BARASAT: A 28-year-old call center employee was arrested on Saturday for allegedly molesting his Facebook friend, a Class-XI girl of Habra in North 24-Parganas.
The accused, Ambar Shett, a BPO employee in Salt Lake sector V, made friends with the girl on Facebook nearly six or seven months ago.
Police said the youth developed a relationship with the girl and they met several times.
The girl's family alleged that the youth tortured their daughter on the pretext of an affair. The girl's mother said they came to know about the torture after scratches were found on their daughter's body a few days back. "He used to torture her physically whenever he met her," she said.
She lodged a complaint with Habra police on Friday. They advised her to invite Shett to their residence. On Saturday morning, Shett arrived and cops took him to the police station. He was arrested after an interrogation. "The youth was arrested on the basis of the complaint lodged by the girl's mother and we are investigating the matter," said Mainak Banerjee, Habra OC.
