The women arrested from Indore and Bhopal were frequently seen at the homes of several officers along with politicians, former ministers, MLAs and MPs. Police have arrested five women and one driver from Bhopal and Indore so far in this case. In addition to this, the police have recovered a dozen of pornographic videos of politicians and officers along with with Rs 14 lakh cash, a laptop, an SUV car and eight sim-cards.
The entire matter came to light when the victim, an engineer, Harbhajan Singh lodged an FIR against the women after they attempted to extort a whopping sum of Rs 3 crore. Acting on the complaint, the police exposed the honeytrap laid out by the women. Apparently, one of the accused, Aarti lured Singh into the trap by befriending him to another accused, a college girl Monica Lal. Apparently, Monica was introduced to the victim on the pretext of getting her a job. While Singh and Monica met in a hotel, the accused, Aarti secretly filmed the two together and later the two women started to blackmail Singh.
Reportedly, the women blackmailed the victim for eight months and in the process robbed him off thrice.
