A 50-year-old Goregaon businessman was allegedly extorted of about Rs 1.20 lakh after befriending an unknown woman on Facebook and sharing his phone number with her. During a WhatsApp video call, the woman allegedly undressed, prompting the man to disconnect the call immediately. 

A few days later, she sent him a screen recording showing both of them on the call and threatened to leak the clip unless he paid. He then began receiving intimidating calls from multiple people, including a woman posing as a Delhi police officer, who continued demanding money. Fearing humiliation, the victim initially transferred around Rs 15,000 and, over the next few weeks, ended up paying a total of Rs 1.20 lakh. When the extortion did not stop, he approached the Bangur Nagar police.
