On Tuesday, the complainant had gone to pocket-6, Rohini Sector-2 to meet her where he met two more women. She asked one of the women to take him to a room, police said. Meanwhile, someone knocked the door and the woman opened it. Two men, two women and three girls entered the room and took nude pictures and videos of the man, police said.
They allegedly threatened to post his video and picture on social media and demanded Rs 30 lakh from him. The deal was finalised at Rs 10 lakh, and the victim called his relative and asked him to arrange the money, they said. Thereafter, the victim's relative gave money to a person near Rajouri Garden Gate, police said. The accused persons released him and threatened that they would post his pictures and videos on social media if he reported the matter to police, they said. During investigation, the accused women were arrested, a senior police officer said.
