Aman Abhishek Nambiar, 20, Arrested Again by Police Criminal Investigation Department

A higher education student accused of allegedly obtaining money after threatening to post nude photos of another man on social media, has been ordered to shut down his social media.

The alleged incidents occurred in March of this year.

The accused, Aman Abhishek Nambiar, 20, allegedly created a fake profile as a woman and searched for potential victims online.

After carefully identifying his potential victims, he would send a friend request, and after gaining the victim’s trust would send sex videos with a false hope of offering sexual favors.

The accused then allegedly requested sexually explicit photos of the victim.

Once received, the accused allegedly requested $ 400 in exchange for not posting the photos on social media.

The accused was charged with two counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception and appeared before magistrate Liyanage Wickramasekara yesterday.

He is also wanted for similar business in Tavua and Totogo.

Magistrate Wickramasekara ordered Nambiar to deactivate all of his social media accounts under his name or any other name until his case is concluded.

He is also released on bail from 2000 $ and ordered not to leave Viti Levu.

Nambiar is ordered to hand over all his travel documents, not to reoffend and not to interfere with witnesses.

A stop-departure order is also issued against the accused.

The case was adjourned for mention on December 2.

Meanwhile, outside of court, Nambiar was again arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department for ongoing investigations into similar offenses allegedly committed over a period of time.
