In 2021, he encountered the prostitute at a brothel located in Kamatipura. The man besotted by the woman showered her with lavish gifts. As their meetings became more frequent, the man rented a house in Goregaon where they would often meet. As per the man’s statement to the police, he invited another prostitute to the rented house in Goregaon where she performed a naked dance. The woman then persuaded the man to strip and dance with her, secretly capturing the act on a mobile phone.

Days later, the video was circulated among the man’s acquaintances. The man learnt from his friends that the video had been sent to him by the same woman who he was living with at the rented accomodation at Goregoan. Meanwhile, the woman met the victim in Goregaon last week and threatened to release the video on social media unless he paid her Rs 10 lakh or provided a gold bracelet. When he refused, the woman proceeded to make the video viral, said an officer. “We have registered the case under Sections of the IPC and the IT Act and arrested the woman,” the officer said.
