Rajni first persuaded the victim priest, Bhagirathi Shastri, to friend her on WhatsApp and begin making video calls. The woman then recorded the entire action and started to blackmail the priest to extort money from him.
The honey trapping gang also threatened the priest that his photos and videos would go viral on social media platforms if he did not pay up.
Fearing for his reputation, the priest went to the Fatasil Police Station in the city and filed a FIR.
Notably, the gang blackmailed a priest with a Rs 5 lakh demand, and the woman also sent obscene videos to the priest, for which the gang began to blackmail him. The three suspects are currently being questioned at Fatasil Ambari police station.
Out of concern for his public image, the priest went to the city’s Fatasil Police Station to file a FIR.
The following day, on Friday, Pramod Tiwari and Rajni Kothari, both from the Fancy Bazar neighbourhood, were brought before the court.
