Police transfer zero FIR to Bansdroni station after the woman accuses the man of repeatedly sexually assaulting and blackmailing her with intimate photos and videos.
A Kolkata woman has alleged that a man she met on social media raped and blackmailed her for several years by threatening to leak her intimate photos and videos.
A woman in Kolkata's Bansdroni area was allegedly raped for several years by a person she had befriended on social media, police said on Thursday. A zero FIR has been registered at the Metiabruz police station, and an investigation is underway, they said.
According to the complaint, the woman came in contact with the accused around seven years ago through social media, and the duo went on several trips together.
She claimed that during one such trip, the man allegedly raped her in a hotel room, clicked photographs and took videos, a police officer said.
The complaint stated that the accused repeatedly sexually assaulted her by blackmailing the woman, threatening her of making the photos and videos public.
"A zero FIR has been registered at the Metiabruz police station. As the accused is a resident of the Brahmapur area under the jurisdiction of Bansdroni police station, and a part of the alleged offences were reported to have taken place there, the case has been transferred to them after preliminary proceedings," the officer told PTI.
The Bansdroni Police has initiated an investigation into the allegations, though no arrests have been made so far, he added.
