Mathura police have arrested a young man for sharing a "provocative" online post during Eid, and investigators discovered a trove of objectionable photos and videos involving Hindu women on his phone. Authorities say the content appears to have been used maliciously to stoke communal tensions. Officials are now analyzing whether he deliberately posed as a Hindu to deceive women, potentially for illicit purposes.

Identified as Imran, the 26-year-old auto‑rickshaw driver from Machhi Mandi, he allegedly fabricated relationships with his targets - gaining their trust under false pretenses. Senior Superintendent of Police Shlok Kumar confirmed a forensic team has commenced deep investigations into the digital evidence and suspects wider online networks may be involved.

The case has raised serious questions about digital privacy, identity manipulation, and the use of content to inflame religious sentiments. With police seeking cooperation from social media platforms, local communities watch anxiously as authorities probe whether this single case is symptomatic of a broader, sinister online pattern.
