New Delhi, February 18

The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested a minor girl for allegedly posting of her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend out of jealousy.

The accused is a 16-year-old girl. The police stated that the complainant, a 21-year-old girl, had broken up with the man after which he got into a relationship with the 16-year-old girl accused. All three are from the same locality.
