Visakhapatnam:The Airport Zone Police in Visakhapatnam have arrested Venu Bhaskara Reddy, a key member of a criminal gang led by Joy Jamina, which targeted wealthy married men in an extortion scheme. According to the police, Venu Bhaskara Reddy cohabited with Jamima and directly participated in attacks on victims.
Jamima, aged 27, lured affluent men through social media with promises of love and marriage. Once she gained their trust, she would invite them to secluded locations, where her gang would drug them, take compromising photographs, and extort large sums of money under the threat of releasing the images online.
The police had been tracking Reddy for some time as he had been evading capture. He was apprehended following a coordinated operation involving multiple police teams.
