Police probing Maharashtra's Nagpur-based BJP functionary Sana Khan's murder earlier this month in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday said they have found that she was allegedly forced into a sextortion racket run by her husband and others, who used her as "honey-trap", reported the PTI.

Through the ring, the accused targeted several men in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh and allegedly earned crores of rupees by blackmailing the victims, they said, according to the PTI.
