Alipiri police have arrested a 24-year-old MBBS student from Hyderabad for allegedly blackmailing a young woman with her intimate photographs and videos.

The accused, identified as Rayeed of Akbar Bagh in Malakpet, allegedly threatened to share the private material with the woman’s relatives and circulate it on social media when she refused to agree to his demand of converting to his religion as a condition for their marriage.
