A harassment case was registered against 40-year-old Yogesh Gupta by Gwalior Police after a young woman filed a formal complaint. Upon searching his mobile phone, police discovered more than 50 objectionable videos featuring various women from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Yogesh targeted widows, divorcees, and unmarried women aged 40 to 50 through social media, befriending them before making them perform objectionable acts on video calls. He then recorded these interactions using a screen recorder app and a spy camera, keeping the files safely stored on his mobile device.
The investigation revealed that the women targeted by the accused included a police assistant sub-inspector (ASI), a doctor, and a sadhvi. Officers are currently examining all the recovered videos to determine how many total victims were involved and whether the footage was used for blackmail.
