Honeytrap Menace in Rajasthan
It is important to note that the honeytrap racket is active in various forms throughout Rajasthan, not just in Hanumangarh. Just a few days ago, the police in Hanumangarh apprehended two individuals, including a woman, in a honeytrap case. The accused were charged with threatening a person’s life and coercing them into participating in explicit videos, followed by extortion. They demanded eight lakh rupees and coerced the victim into acquiring an affidavit.
Gang’s Modus Operandi
The gang initiates their scheme by pretending to be unwell or involving an individual’s family in their deception. Once the victim is trapped, they are coerced into compromising situations, and explicit videos are captured. Later, the gang exploits the victim by showing them the videos, threatening them with false rape allegations, and extorting money.
Efforts to Eradicate the Honeytrap Menace
Law enforcement agencies in Rajasthan are actively working to dismantle honeytrap gangs operating in the state. The arrest of these individuals is a significant step towards curbing such criminal activities and providing justice to the victims.
The honeytrap racket continues to pose a serious threat in Rajasthan, exploiting vulnerable individuals under the guise of illness or familial concerns. Public awareness, preventive measures, and swift action from law enforcement agencies are crucial in combatting this menace and safeguarding society from such heinous crimes.
