A surprising case has come to light with an elderly person living in Sandesh Nagar area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The incident started when the elderly person was bathing in the bathroom on the morning of 23 March. Then a WhatsApp video call came from an unknown number on his mobile. As soon as he picked up the call, a young woman appeared in a naked state. At that time, the elders were also in a semi -fold state. The woman recorded that video call.
The video threatened to make the video viral, the game of intimidation started
After some time, the elderly got another call, this time the name of the caller was Hemant Malhotra. He told the elderly that his pornographic video has gone viral on social media. After this, a person named Pramod Rathore, who described himself as a police officer, called and intimidated that if he did not compromise, he will be put in jail.
Conduct of blackmailing, recovery of more than 14 lakhs
These accused continuously threatened the elderly and gradually recovered Rs 14 lakh 66 thousand 773 from them. All this incident ran from 23 March to 28 April. Even after paying the money, the accused did not stop blackmailing and started asking for money. Troubled by the frequent harassment, the elderly finally gathered courage and lodged a complaint with the police station.
