Choreographer and fashion consultant Prasad Bidapa’s son Adam Bidapa has been arrested for allegedly sending ‘obscene’ messages to a Kannada film actress. He was arrested by Bengaluru Police on Friday for sending lewd messages on WhatsApp.
A police officer reportedly said, “One lady had complained against Adam Bidappa that she is being harassed by him through obscene messages. Hence, a case was registered on Thursday at Indira Nagar police station and Adam has been secured by police to inquire and investigate into the complaints made against him.”
Besides sending vulgar messages he had also threatened her with statement like, “I shall finish you.” Based on her complaint, the police booked Adam under sections 354A (sexual harassment), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the IPC, besides the IT Act.
He was arrested from his homestay at Pollibetta, Kodagu and brought to city, after which he was produced in court on Friday and sent to judicial custody. According to reports, Adam had sent the messages on February 25 night to the actress, who was arrested two years ago on charges of using drugs and submitted the chat details to the police accusing Adam of harassing her.
