1 2 3 Gurgaon: Five persons were arrested over the last week after Faridabad police busted a gang involved in extortion through honeytraps. The gang used to entice men into physical relationships and then blackmail them for money. The arrested accused are Saniya (23), Reshma (45), Rahish (48), Irfan (27), and Farid (27). Saniya, her husband Salim, uncle Rafiq, and aunt Reshma led the gang comprising 10-12 members. Saniya was involved in contacting targets and enticing them into physical relationships. The arrests came after Nuh resident Arif filed a case against Saniya on Sept 11 at Dhoj police station including charges of conspiracy, extortion, snatching, and kidnapping. Arif's friend Kale, who was part of the gang, gave Saniya his number. She started calling him in Feb this year. A few days into the conversation, she told Arif she had fallen in love with him. On Feb 23, she called Arif and asked for help saying her husband had abused her. Arif and Kale alias Mubarak went to rescue her. They met her near Ballabhgarh Tevatia farm and took her to Nekpur village. There, Saniya and Arif got intimate. Just then, Salim and other accomplices arrived. They accused Arif of trying to harass Saniya and demanded Rs 10 lakh. Arif managed to arrange Rs 3.5 lakh. Arif discovered only later that Kale was a part of the gang. He alleged the gang committed similar crimes, filed false rape cases, and extorted money in Mujesar, Bulandshahr, and some parts of Rajasthan. Police found during the investigation that other members of the gang — Jamshed, Irfan, and Shamshu -- committed a similar fraud involving Saniya's friend Farzana and extorted Rs 1 lakh from a dhaba owner in Sector 58. Cops had already arrested Farzana, Jamshed, Irfan, and Shamshu. After interrogation, Saniya, Reshma, Irfan, and Rahish were sent to jail, and Farid will be jailed after his police remand ends. DCP (crime) Hemendra Kumar Meena said police are making efforts to crack down on more such gangs. "Sector 56 Crime Branch previously held four members of a similar gang and will crack down on such activities," the DCP said.
