Kolkata: Kolkata police have arrested three persons, including two members of prominent Kolkata business families, for allegedly blackmailing women after getting into physical relationships with them and making videos of their intimate moments. Video clips of 182 women in compromising positions have also been recovered from the suspects, a police officer said. Kolkata police joint commissioner (crime) Murlidhar Sharma said more people could be involved in the racket. “That’s under investigation. There can be more,” Sharma told IANS when asked whether there is a bigger conspiracy or more people were part of the racket. The accused were presented before a city court, which remanded them in police custody till February 6. The tapes were allegedly recorded by the scions of the two business families over a period of seven years, said Sharma. According to the police, Anish Loharuka’s family owns several hotels, while Aditya Aggarwal’s family runs a popular ethnic wear chain. The two would strike up friendships with women, get intimate and develop physical relationships, and record photos and videos of their intimate moments. The suspects would then break the relationship. (IANS)
