Art director Krishna K. was recently arrested by the police for trying to extort money from his ex-girlfriend’s husband by threatening to circulate objectionable video clips of her. The woman also works in the film industry while her husband is a businessman.
The 25-year-old art director was arrested by a police team of Aarey (Bombay) from Delhi on December 3. The 39-year-old woman was estranged from her husband a few years ago. She was then in a live-in relationship with the art director in Patna. She mended her relationship with her husband during the lockdown and moved to Bombay to live with him after breaking up with Krishna. To seek revenge, Krishna contacted her husband and shared intimate video clips of her, which were shot while the two lived together in Patna. He demanded Rs. 8 lakh from the husband for keeping the videos private.
The husband complained to the Aarey police, and a case for voyeurism and extortion was lodged under the IT Act. Krishna K. was tracked down in Delhi and brought to Bombay. He is presently in police custody.
