Nurse's obscene videos shared online to extort money in UP

NEW DELHI: A man in Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, has been accused of sharing objectionable videos and photos of a government hospital nurse on social media to extort money. The incident was reported to police on Sunday, with the nurse's father filing a complaint against Suraj Kumar Gautam and his two associates, Dheeraj Maurya and Vinod Maurya, at the Suriyawa police station.
Police Inspector Ajit Kumar Srivastava revealed that the nurse had previously been in a relationship with the main accused, during which he had obtained her pictures and videos.
"When the father got to know about the matter, he lodged an FIR against him on charges of rape and blackmail. But the accused got a stay order from the Allahabad High Court in that matter," Srivastava said.
The accused recently began demanding money from the nurse, threatening to circulate her pictures and videos online. On March 19, he and his associates shared the content on a Telegram app channel.
The nurse's father approached local police on Sunday, leading to the registration of a new FIR. All three accused are currently absconding, and police have launched a search operation.
