Threating and Blackmailing
1 week ago
I had a meeting with a girl at my home. She has contacted me on bumble application for friendship and for to explore the city. She stays for 2 day. From the beginning she was asking the money for traveling cost which is something 7K. initially I declined her proposal because of 7K. After sometime she told me that she will going to manage the travel expenses and she wants to see the city. After one day she has demanded to order certain things such as clothes and food. I ordered food and clothes with my own expenses.. there was nothing in between us. I was treating her like a guest. After 1 day I realised that her character is not good. So i told her to leave the house. Even I booked tickets for her.. I also decided to refuse to give gifts at the time of leaving which is one piece of cloth and footwear. Once I not allowed to take any gifts. she becomes angry and she has demanded the money and blackmailing me. She told me that she is going to destroy my Image with false rape case by calling to cop, shouting and inviting people. She told me that people will only trust on her if she is saying anything to them. I am living in a rent apartment and I was deeply scared. I realised that she was a psycho and making money from such things are normal for her. That time I was totally hopeless and I sent few messages to my friends for help. They took time to come to my location but she was not ready to wait more than 10 minutes. So I took her to ATM.. I give her money in front of ATM Camera.. the amount was not big for me.. but I am suffering from mental trauma.. this was first bad incident of my life and I was wrong to trust any random person. I was respecting her during entire time but what I got in return a anxiety and financial loss. She has removed me from the bumble application so I have lost all the messages proff. But I have written a complaint to company and informed this incident. Meanwhile I have her Adhar card number which I took for tickets booking. Now she knows my address and I am scared what to do.
Blackmailing, which involves monetary demands is a serious offence under Section 384 of IPC. Further, threatens to injure the person or his reputation is a punishable offence under Section 503 of IPC. You can file a compliant against the girl to the local police for blackmail and threatens. Also, providing her ID proof will be helpful to track her down and take further actions. If blackmailing has been done online through social media platforms, then you can consider filing a cyber complaint to your nearest cyber cell.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
