In a recent honey trap case in Jodhpur, law enforcement authorities have apprehended two individuals, one of whom is a woman, on charges of attempting to blackmail a school owner through the coercive creation of 'explicit videos.' This nefarious plot unfolded when the accused duo, in a bid to extort money, forcibly recorded compromising videos of the school proprietor and issued threats to disseminate them widely unless a payment of Rs 1 crore was made, as outlined by the police.
According to information provided by the police to news agency PTI, the victim experienced physical assault and was forcibly disrobed on December 7. The assailants, including Anita Bishnoi, one of the accused, took advantage of the man's presence in the vicinity while attending a wedding, leading him to her residence.
Inside her house post-wedding, the victim was subjected to physical violence and forced to remove all his clothes. Shockingly, the perpetrators recorded more than 25 explicit videos of him during this ordeal and subsequently demanded a sum of Rs 1 crore in two installments, adding an element of financial coercion to their criminal activities.
Compounding the victim's distress, Anita Bishnoi, who played a pivotal role in luring him, coerced him into recording a video confession wherein he purportedly confessed to willingly visiting her residence out of affection.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Amrita Duhan has confirmed the arrest of Anita Bishnoi and one accomplice, with ongoing investigations aimed at identifying additional individuals involved in this heinous act. Notably, a search at Bishnoi's residence led to the discovery of opium, raising further concerns about potential illegal activities.
Following the disturbing video recording, the assailants transported the victim in a vehicle through the Mandore and Kaylana areas. Subsequently, he was released the following morning with explicit instructions to promptly deliver the demanded monetary sum.
The police investigation has brought to light that the woman, Anita Bishnoi, had premeditated the entire scheme in collaboration with her associates, strategically inviting the victim to her residence for the sinister purpose of extortion. The case remains under active investigation, as law enforcement endeavors to unravel the full extent of this criminal conspiracy.
