A 30-year-old businessman was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch (Unit II) after his lover alleged that he had filmed her during sex and then threatened to make the video public unless she paid him Rs 3 crore. She also said that he had threatened to rape her sisters and to frame her father in a fake crime.

The victim is a 34-year-old Colaba resident and a sales executive at a seven-star hotel where she first met the accused, Salauddin Arif Khan, in 2009. Khan, a resident of Secunderabad, would often stay at the hotel while on business trips, and over time, the two struck a friendship that later turned into a love affair.
