Jaipur: A man accused a woman and her two accomplices of blackmailing and demanding Rs 1.32 lakh in Nagaur. The victim lodged a FIR against them for assaulting, blackmailing and extortion on Monday.
According to Kuchaman city police, the complainant Devram Jat, a resident of Loharna village stated in the FIR that some days back he got a friend request from a woman on social media. He also claimed that he had already paid Rs 32,000 to them.
“He started chatting with the woman after accepting her friend request. He was then invited to a restaurant to meet at Kuchaman. While they were moving out, two men came in a vehicle and asked them to sit inside it,” said a Kuchaman City senior police official.
“The complainant further stated that after boarding the vehicle, the woman and two of his accomplices demanded Rs 1.32 lakh and threatened that if he didn’t pay the money, he would be implicated in a rape case. Thereafter, the man paid Rs 32000 to get rid of them,” the officer added.
However, the trio kept calling him to pay the remaining amount. “The victim stated that as he was fed up with the blackmailing, he decided to formally complain against them. We have registered a case under appropriate sections of IPC and have initiated an investigation into the matter,” the officer added.
Police stated that similar gangs have been active in the region and were also arrested in the past.
