Kasargod: Another case of blackmail of NRI by gang, three including woman arrested

Kasargod, Apr 26: In yet another case of extortion of an NRI, a gang allegedly forced a Gulf returnee to pose naked with a woman and clicked his photographs, threatening to expose him on social networking sites if did not pay them Rs 30 lac.

Following the incident which took place on Thursday April 24, the police on Friday April 25 arrested three of the accused, including a woman.


The arrested persons are identified as Abdul Rahman alias Annan (32), a resident of Pallikere, Harshad (25) and Naseeda (32) of Trikkaripura.

Four others, including another woman, who were involved in the incident are yet to be arrested, sources said.

It is said that a gang has been operating in the district that specifically targets NRIs. In this case, as in other similar cases, the mobile number of the victim, a resident of Kanhangad, was somehow obtained, and a woman began calling him, developing friendship in due course of time.

The woman then reportedly invited the NRI to meet him, and he was taken to a deserted house at Kasargod Chowki, where Rahiman, Harshad and others forcibly undressed him and clicked his photographs with the woman, it is said. They then demanded Rs 30 lac and threatened to upload the photos on social networking sites if he did not pay the money.

When the victim said that he did not have that much money, they told him to pay Rs 7 lac. Finally, they took away Rs 17,000 in cash that he had with him, along with his watch and mobile phone worth Rs 50,000.

The victim later managed to escape and filed a complaint with the police, who swung into action and arrested three of the seven accused.

It is said that a woman, who is yet to be arrested, is the mastermind behind the incident.

Such incidents have occured in Kasargod in the past too. In March this year, an NRI was trapped in a similar manner and seven out of 10 accused were arrested.

Kasargod town police have registered a case.

    Hello NRIs, when they take a photograph after they make you naked, just put your hands to your face. I had read somewhere - There were two men in the swimming pool,naked.Their clothes kept near the entrance were stolen. So after coming out of the water,the foreigner kept his hands down and the Indian kept his hands up on the face until they reached their house. That's all. Don't worry. Do not part with your hard earned money, even if parting with your underwear.

    The woman looks very disparate and saddened and may be herself also a victim who got trapped in this rotten gang.

    This is similar case that took place in in Deralakatte some months back.

    Throw all these anti-social elements into Thihar jail till they get refined and reformed.

    Finally, men should maintain some control on their vim and fancies. Don't get carried away with the sweet voice on the other end of a stranger female's phone call. The victim's intention could be to indulge in immoral act with this woman, but never expected a trap was already laid to trap him.

    You reap what you saw.

    As per one of the survey Indians are the most racist people on the Earth. When I see the comment by people I feel it's true. Crime of individual can't be blamed on region, religion, caste or Nation. People open up. To create a perfect system to live in its difficult. But we can try to make it better.

    Those gang knows the weakness certain men in kasaragod, so they trap them into their net easily. So in this case,the victim is a not an innocent or honest person, he too womanizer, the Police should publish his name so that crime that can happened in future be prevented

    Bhandumaam,

    Beauty is in beholders eyes,,, what is not beautiful to you might be beautiful to this NRI gulf guy,,, in gulf they drink desalinated sea water....sometimes it makes ones mind bit weird....

    Also Naseeda might not be the woman who seduced this NRI...just a bait....

    Also, some of the gulf NRIs have loose underwear...so they sucuumb these type of crooks easily...

    Best idea they should be sent to Bangkok/Pattaya for thirtha Yathre...

    ...JH...
