A creepy sex -sharing racket was operated from Kolkata about 1900 km away from Kolkata. On the basis of technical investigation, the Pune police busted 6 accused, who used to trap people across the country in a very vicious manner.
Suicide
The case came to light on 15 May 2024 when 35 -year -old Kiran Namdev Dater, who lives in Dighi area of Pune, committed suicide by hanging himself in his house at around 9:30 pm. Saurabh Sharad Vikar, a relative of the deceased, lodged a complaint, expressing doubts with the police that it could be a part of a deep conspiracy, not suicide. On this, the Dighi police took the case seriously and started the investigation.
Blackmailing game with porn videos
Kiran’s mobile was investigated during the police investigation. Her WhatsApp history revealed that she was in contact with the call girl and some objectionable pictures and videos of her were recorded on a video call. After this, blackmailing started – first Rs 12,000, then this amount reached Rs 51 lakh. Kiran committed suicide due to this mental pressure and depression.
Racket racket caught in Kolkata
Through technical surveillance and number tracing, the police team found evidence of the activities of this racket in the Nagar Bazar area of Kolkata.

Huge amount of evidence recovered

Racket used to work like this
The modes of this gang was very shocking. These people used to make Gmail IDs with fake names and describe themselves as call girls on social media. The top class call girls from Google used to collapse the victims by collecting photos and numbers.

Then millions of rupees were recovered by threatening to make the same weapons viral on social media.
Police alert
