A couple in Chhattisgarh's Durg district had filed a police complaint that they were being blackmailed over a video of their intimate moments
Six years back, Vinay Kumar Sahu's aspirations to become a civil servant crumbled before failure. And now, his ambitions in the world of crime have been crushed after a blackmail attempt went awry. Police say Sahu's "laziness" got him into trouble as he would target the same houses repeatedly and this made it easy to track him.
The "lazy" thief's bizarre tale came to light when a couple in Chhattisgarh's Durg district approached police and complained that they were being blackmailed over a video of their intimate moments. The blackmailer, they said in the complaint, had threatened to leak the video online if he was not paid Rs 10 lakh.
An FIR was filed and police launched a massive search for the culprit along with cyber crime units. CCTV footage from the area was scanned and a suspect identified and arrested.
