The desperation to get a match for his marriage resulted in a 34-year-old man from Jamnagar falling into a trap of blackmailers who extorted Rs 1.5 lakh from him.
The victim Harshad Aghara, who lives in Jodiya taluka, was lured with the promise of finding him a bride by three persons who later clicked his nude photos and threatened to lodge a rape complaint against him.
According to a complaint lodged with Kuvadva Road police station, Aghara said he had received a video call from a woman who identified herself as Zeenat alias Bebi Makwana. She, however, told Aghara that she had dialled his number inadvertently and apologized too. However, she continued to lure him and Aghara told her that he was searching for a woman to get married. Zeenat promised to find a match for him.
On November 15, she called him to meet a prospective bride at a flat in Rangila Society in Navagam Anandpar outside Rajkot city. Zeenat started talking with him and made him strip nude.
As Aghara got nude, two other accused, Viha Katariya and Hansa Aghola, suddenly came there and identified themselves as uncle and aunty of Zeenat. They accused of Aghara of trying to seduce and rape Zeenat and threatened to lodge a complaint. He was also beaten up and the trio demanded Rs four lakh. They finally settled in Rs 1.5 lakh and made Aghara to arrange money through a courier. Aghara was released after he paid them Rs 1.5 lakh.
