NEW DELHI: He was turning 30. He told police he was frustrated because all his friends were married with kids while he was still a bachelor. At a little over 50kg and 5 feet 4 inches, he considered himself underweight and short, which is why, he thought, women turned down his requests for friendship or marriage.

In a desperate attempt to get women to notice him, he started sending morphed pictures to girls, aged between nine and 16 years, through Facebook messenger and WhatsApp.

He had downloaded a “cut and paste” application in his mobile phone and used it for morphing photographs of girls, which he randomly picked and saved from Facebook profiles.

Gambhir had a collection of 52 morphed photos of various girls on his three mobile phones. He threatened girls to accept his friendship or he would circulate their morphed photos on the internet and social networking sites.
