Six women held for honeytrapping men

They were nabbed for extorting money

Six women were arrested from Rohini for allegedly honeytrapping men to extort money from them, the police said on Thursday.

According to the police, they received a complaint where the complainant stated that he was in contact with a woman for the last two-three months. On Tuesday, the complainant had gone to pocket-6, Rohini Sector-2 to meet the woman, where he met two more women. She asked one of the women to take him to a room, the police said.

Meanwhile, someone knocked the door and the woman opened it. “Two men, two women and three girls entered the room and took nude pictures and videos of the man,” the police said.

Demanded ₹30 lakh

They allegedly threatened to post his videos and pictures on social media and demanded ₹30 lakh from him. “The deal was finalised at ₹10 lakh and the victim called his relative and asked him to arrange the money,” they said.

Thereafter, the victim’s relative gave money to a person near Rajouri Garden Gate, the police said.

The accused released the victim and threatened that they will post his pictures and videos on social media if he report the matter to the police, they said.

But the victim approached the police and lodged a complaint. During investigation, six women were arrested, a senior police officer said.

They were produced before the court and two of them were sent to one-day police remand. The extorted amount is yet to be recovered, they said.
