A resident of Kherwadi from Uttar Pradesh had opened an account on social media under the name of different girls. He called up a female, residing in Delhi under the pretext of acting and modeling in the film, clicked her nude photos, taped a video and later on threated to make her videos viral and demanded a ransom of Rs. 50,000. The female lodged a complaint at Raopura Police Station in Vadodara.
As per details, the female mentioned in her complaint that on January 2020, she received a friend request from Ashika Tripathi asking the complainant about her interest in modeling. The complainant showed interest and then was introduced to the Casting Director of Karma Film Production. Later on, her number was shared with the Casting Director. The Casting Director called and said that if she is interested in acting and modeling, then she will have to reach Vadodara and pay Rs. 15,000 to prepare her portfolio. He shared his bank account number in which Rs. 13,000 was deposited by her.
He asked her to arrive at the Rajdhani Hotel at Dandia Bazar in Vadodara on the morning of February 29th, 2020. He informed her to go to the Hotel Manager, give his name and he will give her the key to the room. He came to the room at 9.30 p.m and demanded another Rs. 52 thousand out of which the girl gave Rs. 25000 to him.
He then asked to take her nude photos for modelling to which she objected. But he showed her other nude pictures of girls so she agreed and then he forcibly touched and molested her. He then threatened her to not report the incident to anyone and asked her to deposit the rest of money in the account. The victim later on went to her cousin’s house and next day left for Delhi.
