Bengaluru: A shocking incident has surfaced in India’s commercial capital, Mumbai. In this case, a model enticed men to her residence under the pretense of engaging in sexual activities, filmed videos of the encounters, and then employed these videos to intimidate and extort the victims. The Karnataka Police recently dismantled the sextortion ring, suspecting that over 50 men had fallen victim to the group’s activities. This alarming situation came to public attention when one of the victims mustered the courage to file a formal complaint with the police.
