New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh Police on Tuesday said it has busted a ”sextortion” racket being run through a gay dating app in Kanpur, officials said.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (west) Lakhan Singh Yadav told PTI that the accused created fake profiles on the gay dating app ’Blued’.
They engaged in friendly chats with the victims and after some time, take them out on a date. They would indulge in sexual activities and shoot naked videos of them, he said. They would then rob them of their valuables and transfer money from their bank accounts through UPI using their phone by threatening to circulate the videos on social media, the officer was quoted as saying.
Talking to PTI over the phone, Yadav said one of the victims approached the police, claiming that some people had recorded a nude video of him and were using it for blackmailing. A case was registered at the Kalyanpur police station and a police investigation was launched that helped in busting the ’sextortion’ gang, police said.
The police also seized five mobile phones, a laptop, nine ATM cards from various banks, and a police uniform during the arrests.
