Belagavi: A man from Karnataka, identified as Kiran Patil of Belagavi city, has been apprehended by the police for threatening his wife with the release of her private videos and photos if she refused to grant him a divorce. Law enforcement officials revealed that the accused resorted to blackmail in an attempt to force his wife to marry his lover.
The situation unfolded when the accused, concurrently filing for divorce, began coercing his wife with the threat of circulating intimate content on social media. Distressed by the situation, the victim reported the incident to the District Cyber Crime Police station. During the investigation, the police discovered private videos and photos of the victim stored on the accused’s mobile device.
