Charilam, Jan 14: In a case of cybercrime, Debashis Sutradhar, a resident of Bishramganj, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly blackmailing a young woman from West Bengal. The two had developed a romantic relationship through social media, which eventually led to the accused exploiting the woman financially by threatening her with screenshots taken during video calls.
Police officials revealed that Debashis and the woman communicated frequently over phone calls and video chats. During these interactions, Debashis secretly captured screenshots, which he later used to blackmail her. The accused coerced the victim into paying him significant amounts of money under the threat of leaking the images. The woman eventually filed a complaint at Baguiati Police Station in West Bengal.
Acting on the complaint, Baguiati police contacted Bishramganj police, who provided full cooperation in the investigation. Joint efforts by the two police stations led to the arrest of Debashis. The accused is currently in police custody, and further investigations are underway.
