A complaint was subsequently lodged by the victim with the Vile Parle police station. The police managed to trace the woman who, according to cops, has confessed to creating fake profiles that were used to send friend requests to the friends and relatives of the other woman.

During interrogation, the accused disclosed that she committed the crime to avenge her lover who had married another woman recently, the official said.

A case under sections 419 (cheating by personation) and 500 (punishment for defamation) of the IPC besides under IT Act was registered against Aarti Jadhav.
