MP gang targets people by recording obscene video calls, blackmailing them

When a local Bharatiya Janata Party leader from Madhya Pradesh’s Chambal received a Facebook request from a woman, the unsuspecting politician accepted it and began chatting with her in April this year. The two soon began talking via WhatsApp before the politician was shocked to get an extortion call from a gang. The caller asked him to pay or else they will make the politician’s obscene video calls public. The politician paid some money initially. He was left with no choice but to approach the police when the gang continued blackmailing him for money.

The politician is among at least 100 people the gang has targeted in Madhya Pradesh alone.
