In its charge sheet, police said the accused pretended to be an American model and used photos of a Brazilian social media influencer
NEW DELHI: A 23-year-old city-based tech recruiter extorted money from more than 500 women he met on social media platforms and dating applications over the last two years after blackmailing them using their personal photos and videos, the Delhi Police has alleged in its charge sheet.
Police in the charge sheet said the accused, Tushar Singh Bisht, posed as an American model by using photos of a Brazilian model cum social media influencer.
While police did not share the total extorted amount, the charge sheet, filed this month, said that he used to mostly dupe the victims of ₹5,000 to ₹10,000.
Police also recovered over 400 personal photos and 68 videos of the victims from the devices he used in the crime.
