Handa (26) was arrested late on Saturday after the police traced the internet protocol address from which the profile was created to his residence at Four Bungalows in Andheri. Booked for breach of trust, forgery and under the Information Technology Act, 2000, he has been remanded in police custody. During interrogations, Handa admitted to the police that he had created the fake profile whom "he was interested in". Handa first met the victim two years ago when the latter had just started to make a career in astrology. The two became friends and for a while, they even shared an apartment in Andheri, the police said. However, the two subsequently fell out when the friend brushed aside Handa's "advances".
