Greater Chennai Police Commissioner A. Arun has issued a fresh warning to citizens about the potential misuse of app Grindr, after a city-based businessman was robbed by an individual he had met through the platform, along with his accomplices.

The incident came to light following the arrest of three serial offenders and a minor, who had orchestrated a robbery at the victim's residence in MKB Nagar.

The businessman, who runs a garment business, had reportedly invited a man he befriended on Grindr to his home on May 14, while his parents were away.
