A Bhojpuri singer-actor has approached Ghatkopar police after a Dubai-based man blackmailed him over a video of his wife. The 27-year-old singer met the Dubai man on an app.
According to Mid-Day, the singer-actor met the Dubai man on Holla Live. The singer and man would talk about business and professional lives. The Dubai man had told the Bhojpuri singer-actor that he worked for a multinational company in Dubai and was looking to invest in a fresh talent in India.
“My husband has worked on several albums, mostly in Bhojpuri, and this person offered to finance my husband for a new album. This has been my husband’s dream for years, and the person offered to give him Rs 10 lakh,” Bhojpuri singer-actor’s wife told the leading daily. The singer-actor and the Dubai were very friendly with each other and once when they were video-chatting during the night, the man told the singer-actor that he wanted to meet his wife. The singer-actor told the leading, “I made the big mistake of panning the camera on to my wife who happened to be sleeping in the nude.”
The next day the singer-actor was shocked to see a small clip of his wife which was sent by the Dubai man on his WhatsApp. The Dubai man later started demanding money and also threatened to make the clip public if he failed to do so. The singer-actor requested and begged the Dubai man to delete the clip but failed to persuade him. After this, the singer-actor told his wife about the entire scenario and his wife advised him to approach the cops. The police have registered a case and are investigating in the case.
