Cybercrime officials of the Criminal investigation Department (CID) unearthed a sex-trap racket and arrested three persons, including two truck drivers from Bharatpur, Rajasthan, for allegedly luring and blackmailing people after recording their private videos.
Based on two complaints, a team of officials tracked down the accused, identified as Sakir Pahari, Kasam Khan and Jamil Khan, from their hometown Bharatpur in Rajasthan.
According to the police, Kasam and Jamil are truck drivers, while Sakir was unemployed and a friend of the accused. They ganged up to operate the racket since the first lockdown. The accused are school dropouts but are being trained by their handler, a police officer said, adding that efforts are on to track him down.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
