The Goregaon police on Tuesday night arrested a 25-year-old from Aarey Colony for allegedly extorting women after threatening to upload their personal photos on social media.

According to police sources, the accused, Pukraj Dewasi alias Rajveer Singh, had a unique modus operandi—he would post hundreds of photos of himself inside Rajasthani palaces on Instagram. The youth would then send women friend requests and many would accept, believing he was a royal.
