Delhi: How gang lured scores into sex trap for blackmail

德里：犯罪团伙引诱数十人陷入美人计，进而勒索对方

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police’s Crime Branch has busted a “sextortion racket” being run by Mewat-based criminals and arrested the mastermind from Gurgaon. The suspect has been identified as Mohammed Barkat Ali. Raids are being conducted in Mewat region to arrest other members of the racket.

新德里：德里警方犯罪部门破获了一个位于梅瓦特的“性敲诈团伙”，并逮捕了来自古尔冈的主谋。嫌疑人已被确认为穆罕默德·巴尔卡特·阿里。警方正在梅瓦特地区进行突袭，以逮捕该团伙的其他成员。

The racketeers used to lure people on social media platforms using fake IDs of girls and initiate a sex chat. After a few days of chatting, the accused would invite their target for video calls and tactfully show them a girl strip her clothes. They would even invite the people to strip.

这些勒索者在社交媒体平台上利用女孩的假身份引诱受害人，发起性话题聊天。经过几天的聊天，被告会邀请他们的目标进行视频通话，并给他们展示一个女孩在脱衣服。他们甚至会邀请对方脱衣服。

“The gang would use screen recorder to record WhatsApp video calls. The accused then extorted money by threatening to upload the obscene video on social media platforms,” joint commissioner BK Singh said.

联合专员辛格说：“该团伙会使用屏幕记录器来记录WhatsApp的视频通话，威胁要在社交媒体平台上传淫秽视频，以此勒索钱财。”

The accused recorded the screen of their target using a specific app and used voice changers to befool them. They posed as YouTubers while threatening the target of making their video viral. The gang had extorted from more than 200 people in the past few months.

罪犯用一款特定的应用程序录下勒索目标的屏幕，并用变声器欺骗他们。他们装扮成youtube用户，威胁对方要把视频传到网上。在过去的几个月里，这个团伙勒索了200多人。

The gang was earlier in the business of cheating people on the pretext of selling cars and bikes over WhatsApp by impersonating themselves as Indian Army personnel. In September 2020, Barkat Ali and his aides committed big loot of Rs 12.8 lakh cash by breaking open an ATM machine of HDFC Bank in Mysore, Karnataka. Of late, the gang turned to sextortion using Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Tinder app, etc.

该团伙早些时候在WhatsApp上以销售汽车和自行车为借口，假扮成印度陆军人员，欺骗受害人。2020年9月，巴尔卡特·阿里和他的助手在卡纳塔克邦迈索尔的HDFC银行撬开了一台ATM机，抢劫了128万卢比。最近，该团伙利用Facebook、WhatsApp、Telegram和Tinder应用程序等进行性勒索。

In the last few months, cops had received several complaints regarding sextortion and had mounted surveillance. It came to fore that the criminals used to demand only Rs 15,000 from their target so that the victim paid up without making an issue to save himself from the embarrassment.

在过去的几个月里，警察收到了几起关于性勒索的投诉，并进行了监视。罪犯只向他们的目标索要1.5万卢比，这样受害者就能付清，避免自己难堪。
