In a shocking incident reported from Pune, a 27-year-old delivery agent was arrested for flashing at least 40 women across Mumbai and Pune and making obscene video calls to them. The accused, Jyotiram Baburao Mansule, reportedly targeted women by joining WhatsApp groups for job seekers and making random obscene video calls to members with display pictures of women.

One victim, a 35-year-old woman from Malad, received a video call from the offender in the morning hours where the caller was naked. Although the woman disconnected the call, the caller continued to harass her through WhatsApp messages, asking if she recognized him. The victim reported the incident to the police, which led to the offender’s arrest.

Upon analyzing Mansule’s phone, the police discovered that he had made obscene video calls to over 40 women in recent days. While only one woman has come forward to file a complaint, the police suspect that many other victims chose to block his number instead of pursuing legal action.

According to an officer, the accused has admitted to committing the crime and confessed to contacting and sending video clips to around 20 to 25 women residing in Pune and Mumbai. He was presented before the Borivli Magistrate court on Saturday, and the court has ordered him to be taken into police
