Pune man accused of abuse, blackmail of Ahmedabad woman

Updated: Sep 26th, 2024


A woman in Ahmedabad has filed a complaint accusing a Pune-based man of abusing her 21-year-old daughter in Goa last year and continuing to blackmail her, causing both mental and physical distress. 

According to the police complaint filed at the Bopal Police Station on September 25, the 21-year-old had disappeared from the trekking camp she’d been attending on December 29, 2023. While she returned to camp around 9 pm that night, her parents — who flew out to meet her on December 30 — noticed burn marks on her arms. 

When confronted, the young woman confirmed that the burns were from a cigarette. She then told her parents that she had left the camp to meet a man from Pune, with whom she had connected on social media. The man burned her in a fit of anger during a verbal argument during their meet, she said.

The 45-year-old complainant told the police that her daughter continued to communicate with the accused via Whatsapp video calls even after returning from Goa, despite her parents’ advice and insistence.

“It was like she was under his control,” the woman said.

Recently, a relative reached out to the older woman, after the daughter solicited money from them. In another confrontation with her parents, the 21-year-old admitted that the accused was blackmailing her after secretly recording a video of her undressing — at his behest — during a video call. 

The accused allegedly instructed her to slit her wrists if she could not come up with the money that he had demanded. Desperate to comply, she first asked friends and family for funds. When that failed, she slit her wrist on August 15 following her abusive beau’s instructions.   

Confirming the details of the case, Om Prakash Jat, Superintendent of Police Ahmedabad Rural, said, “We have lodged a case and launched an investigation. A team will be sent to apprehend the accused.”
