Ahmedabad: Sex, Lies and Politics: This is what a group of Scamster used to captivate former Gujarat cabinet ministers into the Sextorption trap.
The victim paid Rs 2.5 lakh before learning that his online friend was a deepfake avatar created by Cybercrooks.
A complicated trap was founded in July when politicians, who held various main posts in the ruling party, were contacted by a woman who posed as a member of the party from Rajasthan.
He contacted him during the cabinet reshuffle in Gujarat.
“He pretended to be a party leader, so politicians began chatting with him on the social media platform.
Then, he shared his personal Whatsapp number,” said a source at the Gujarat police.
The top sources said the former minister did not get a bed in a new cabinet and passed a hard time and was reportedly close to the woman.
In December, the woman proposed to make video calls to politicians, and she agreed.
“When he received the call, he hurt himself and made obscene movements.
In his insistence, the former minister also took off his clothes.
A few minutes later, the call was cut off and he received a video where he was watching a naked woman,” the source said.
Squeezers are converting to RS 5 Lakh.
He paid them Rs 2 lakh.
Previously, he had paid the woman around Rs 50,000 when he was looking for financial assistance.
The politician then approached a senior police officer who looked into this case.
They found that the woman was not real.
“He has been created through artificial intelligence and a man has brought a minister of ride.” The police suspected the gang from Melat was behind this fraud.
Last July, it was revealed that another former minister was trapped by Sextortionists.
Former minister, an experienced politician, fell to the scamster after receiving a friend’s request in October 2020 from a woman who identified himself as a 30-year-old professional who worked in the Delhi-Gurgaon area.
The cybercriminal followed a similar modus operandi to trap men and demanded Rs 2.5 lakh if ​​he did not want his ‘mistake’ to be published.
He turned to the police department.
Senior officers are involved and the Blackmailers account is disabled.
The culprit was sent a strong message to avoid clear.
