An incident has been reported from the Bhangar area of South 24 Parganas, Kolkata, where a neighbor was arrested for secretly recording a woman and using the footage to blackmail her into repeated sexual assaults. The victim's family revealed to the police that the accused threatened to kill her husband if she refused to comply with his demands, raising serious concerns about women's safety in the region.
The incidents occurred at night while the victim was asleep in her home. The accused recorded her without consent and subsequently coerced her into sexual acts by threatening to release the explicit video publicly. This intimidation continued over time, causing significant emotional distress for the victim and her family. They reported that the accused consistently harassed and blackmailed the woman.
The situation escalated when the victim's husband confronted the accused about the harassment. In a shocking turn, the perpetrator threatened him with a knife, which further heightened the family's fear. After enduring months of abuse, the victim approached the police to file a formal complaint, prompting the police to take immediate action. Following the complaint, police arrested the accused and launched a detailed investigation into the case. Authorities are now interrogating him to gather more information about the crimes.
