A serious case of blackmail and extortion has come to light involving a spa center owner and a bank employee. According to the complaint filed by the bank employee, the incident took place when he visited a spa center for a massage. While he was changing clothes, the spa owner secretly filmed him using a hidden camera. The woman later used this video to blackmail him, demanding a large sum of money to prevent the video from being made public.
Initially, the spa owner extorted ₹3 lakh from the bank employee by threatening to release the video. Despite paying this amount, the woman continued to demand more money, threatening him with severe consequences, including implicating him in a false case, sending him to jail, or even harming him. The bank employee, who feared for his safety, decided to report the matter to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) and requested the authorities to help him retrieve his money and take action against the spa owner.
In addition to the blackmail, the bank employee revealed that the spa staff had even confiscated his mobile phone during the incident. Despite the payment of ₹3 lakh, the spa owner was still demanding more, specifically ₹5 lakh. The bank employee also highlighted a broader concern, alleging that several unlicensed spa centers were operating in the city and some might be running illegal activities, including sex rackets.
The SSP, Dr. Vipin Tada, assured the public that the matter is being thoroughly investigated. He stated that appropriate action would be taken based on the facts and evidence gathered during the investigation. The case has drawn attention to the need for stricter regulation of spa centers to prevent such criminal activities.
This disturbing incident highlights the risks of exploitation and the severe consequences of blackmail, especially in situations where personal privacy is violated. The bank employee’s decision to come forward with his complaint has opened the door for further investigations, which could lead to a larger crackdown on unlicensed and illegal operations within the city.
