Bengaluru, Nov 18: A lady aged 28 has filed complaint against his friend, who she said, blackmailed her to be cooperative with his friends on his birthday. On the basis of her complaint, police personnel of Konanakunte station here have registered a case against Ankur Kumar (30), resident of Electronics City here.

"During the month of November last year, I was scouting for a suitable husband for me on Shaadi.com website. I got introduced to Ankur Kumar through this website. He met and promised to marry me. I believed him and went with him during which period he sexually exploited me. Later, he refused to marry me. In the past I had filed complaint about this in Bommanahalli police station after which the police had arrested him. He came out on bail within few days," she told the police.

She said that in the recent past, Ankuar had called her on mobile phone several times. He also often came near her house and the office where she works and harassed her by using abusive language. "On October 22, he called me to threaten me that he would upload video of our sexual act on social website unless she attends his birthday on November 22 and cooperate with him and his friends. She said he blackmailed her to agree to what he said to avoid embarrassment which may be caused by posting the video clip of her in his company in social media.

The police said that the affected lady and the accused work in private companies and that she was forced to file complaint because of the harassment of the accused. They have served him a notice to be present for questioning, but he has absconded. They now plan to hunt for him and take further steps once he is arrested.
