Originally from Uttar Pradesh, Patel stays with his wife.

“After we were informed, we registered a case against Patel under Section 67 (B) (for publishing or transmitting of material depicting children in sexually explicit act, etc, in electronic form) of the IT Act and arrested him,” said the officer.
