A lawyer fell victim to a sophisticated honeytrap scam in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, involving a woman and her accomplices. After meeting on dating apps, the woman secretly recorded explicit video of the lawyer, blackmailed him for Rs. 5 lakh, and stole his SUV. The suspects were apprehended in a sting operation.
The Bombay High Court has rejected Rakhi Sawant’s anticipatory bail plea regarding allegations by her estranged husband about the unauthorized distribution of private videos. Sawant faces charges under defamation, common intention, and publishing sexually explicit material electronically. The court dismissed her plea stating the withdrawal of the plea by her lawyer as a pivotal factor.
