Delhi: Man held for extorting money from woman by threatening to leak nude video online

A 25-year-old man has been arrested by Delhi Police for allegedly extorting money from a woman he met on Instagram by threatening to leak her nude video online.

DCP (central) Shweta Chauhan said that on January 12, a woman filed a complaint stating that in July last year, she came in contact with Sanny Chauhan on Instagram. They exchanged their WhatsApp numbers. “The accused used to message her on WhatsApp regularly in a friendly way and won her trust over time,” the police officer said.

They gradually developed intimacy and stripped naked during a video call, police said. “The accused recorded a semi-nude video of the complainant and started demanding money from her,” the officer added.
