Her trauma reportedly began after a trekking camp in Goa last Christmas, where she had met Sahil.Upon her return, her phone had been switched off, and she was found with burn marks on her hands, inflicted by Sahil during their meeting in Goa. The victim disclosed that Sahil had physically abused her by burning her with a cigarette.Back in Ahmedabad, Sahil’s harassment escalated. He repeatedly blackmailed the girl, sending her QR codes and demanding money to prevent the release of her private videos. The girl, desperate to keep the situation under control, had to ask her relatives to transfer funds to Sahil. His control over her extended to her social media accounts, including WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Instagram, leaving her further vulnerable to his manipulation.After the family lodged a police complaint in Bopal, authorities quickly launched an investigation that led them to Pune, where Sahil was apprehended. Police reports indicate that Sahil had been systematically extorting money from the victim for months, exploiting her fear and control over her personal data.“A total of ₹90,000 was extorted from the girl during a 6-month duration. We suspect there are more victims. It was also revealed during questioning that the accused got the girl’s contact from her classmate when she was studying in Pune,” Jat added.<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>
