In a distressing incident, it has come to light that a female lawyer in Bengaluru was coerced into stripping on camera by cybercriminals who then proceeded to extort Rs 15 lakh from her.
According to reports, the fraudsters initially contacted the victim under the pretext of conducting a narcotics test. Shockingly, they kept her on a single call for an astonishing 36 hours, during which they filmed her in the nude. Subsequently, they resorted to blackmail, threatening to sell the compromising video on the dark web if she didn’t comply with their demands for money.
The victim recounted her traumatic experience to the East CEN police, disclosing that the ordeal commenced with a phone call posing as ‘FedEx’. She was informed that a package addressed to her and destined for Thailand allegedly contained illicit substances. The call was then transferred to an individual claiming to be a Mumbai police officer. This individual instructed her to download Skype and add him to the conversation, alleging that her Aadhaar number was associated with criminal activities like human trafficking and drug offenses.
