Mumbai: A 36-year-old railway employee died by suicide recently after he got trapped in a sextortion racket and lost ₹2 lakh. The Dadar Government Railway Police (GRP) registered a case of abetment to suicide and extortion against unknown persons for allegedly blackmailing the victim with his nude photos.
According to the GRP, on Monday around 4pm, they got a call from the railway control that a man jumped before a train going towards CSMT near Matunga railway station. “When we reached the spot, we found a suicide note on him. In the suicide note, the victim said that he had met a woman on social media. Later, they spoke on video call, and thereafter she and her three male friends started blackmailing him with his nude photos. They took ₹2 lakh from him and were demanding more money,” a GRP officer said.
