Horticulture staff goes to police with honeytrap complaint

An employee of the Horticulture Department has complained to the police that a woman tried to intimidate and blackmail him, after getting intimate with him.

Ramachandra Takale, who earlier served as a personal assistant to the former Minister Srimant Patil, has said that Nayvashree Ramachandra Rao, a social activist and youth Congress leader from Channapatna, blackmailed him with a threat that she will send his nude videos to his family.

The woman came in contact with him when he was in the former Minister’s office. “She later got very close to me and we started spending a lot of time together,” he said in his complaint.
