Dubai Police arrested a man who blackmailed a girl he had connected with on social media platform.

According to Brigadier Abdullah Bin Suroor, Director of Bur Dubai Police Station, the man was arrested in less than 24 hours after the girl’s family reported the incident via Dubai’s Smart Police Station.

“A report reached Bur Dubai Police Station that a girl had sent her pictures to a man who blackmailed her. The man was arrested immediately. The man initially earned the girl’s trust but later used the photos and videos that she had sent him to blackmail her,” he said.
