BENGALURU: A city-based software engineer lost Rs 16 lakh after fraudsters threatened to upload his nude video online.
On December 3, he met a woman named Swetha on a dating app and she asked him to pay Rs 2,000 via a digital
payment wallet.
Swetha reportedly provided her friend Nikitha’s
mobile numbers to him. Nikitha made a video call and he saw her posing nude. This call was recorded and the women used it to blackmail him, a police officer said. The techie said two more women, Preeti Agarwal and Sherin, had threatened to upload the video if he failed to pay.
