An unidentified person allegedly extorted Rs 20,000 from a 21-year-old graphic designer by threatening to make his obscene chat viral on social media. The victim approached the Dindoshi police stating that he was honey-trapped into going nude over a video call. The victim is the son of a famous TV serial scriptwriter, who has written scripts of many serials that are currently being aired on Colors and other channels.

In his complaint to the police, the victim said that in May he received a message from a woman identified as Pragya on Instagram. A few minutes later, the victim got a video call where the woman was seen indulging in an obscene act. He also received a text message from the person in which he was asked to share his Whatsapp number and the two started chatting.
