A TikTok personality was on Saturday arrested for allegedly raping and impregnating a minor girl in Thrissur district of Kerala. Police arrested 19-year-old Ambili aka Vignesh Krishna and booked him under various sections of the Pocso (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act and the Indian Penal Code.
Police said Vignesh Krishna had met the girl on social media last year. Soon they started meeting. Vignesh Krishna later promised to marry the girl, took her to his house and allegedly raped her.
When Vignesh Krishna found out that the girl was pregnant and her parents had filed a complaint against him, he absconded, while the police looked for him. In the meantime, Vignesh Krishna applied for a passport, indicating his plan to move abroad.
To apprehend the accused, the police told his family that his passport was ready. On Saturday, his father went to Thrissur Medical College Hospital to inform Vignesh Krishna about his passport.
The police followed the father and apprehended Vignesh Krishna. He was arrested following an interrogation.
Before the ban on Chinese mobile apps, Vignesh Krishna had been quite popular on social media with his TikTok videos.
