A shocking revelation has once again exposed the dark underbelly of cybercrime in Rajasthan. Just days after the exposure of a madrasa cleric’s obscene acts in Jodhpur, another disturbing case has emerged from Alwar. Police have arrested 22-year-old madrasa teacher Soyav Khan for running an international sextortion racket with cross-border links to Bangladesh. The arrest took place in the Dholagarh Devi area of Alwar under Operation Cyber Sangram, and the case has sent shockwaves across the state.
Blackmail Through Obscene Chats and Videos
According to police investigations, Khan employed a chilling modus operandi to trap his victims. He would first gain their trust through friendly video calls, slowly pushing them into obscene conversations and acts. These interactions were secretly recorded, and later, victims were blackmailed with threats of making the videos public. In exchange for silence, Khan extorted hefty sums from them. The police recovered numerous obscene chats, explicit videos, and financial transaction details from his mobile phone, many of which were linked to foreign numbers, including Bangladesh, highlighting the international reach of this crime network.
Cross-Border Cybercrime Links Exposed
The evidence uncovered indicates that this was not an isolated crime limited to Rajasthan but part of a larger organized sextortion racket operating across borders. With international financial transactions and foreign numbers involved, police are now digging deeper into possible accomplices in Bangladesh and beyond. Officials believe more arrests are likely as the investigation progresses and more layers of the racket are unraveled.
Previous Case in Jodhpur Raises Alarming Pattern
This shocking case comes just a week after another madrasa teacher in Jodhpur was caught on camera exploiting women under the guise of tantra-mantra and hypnotism. That teacher, who ran a bookstore in the Ghantaghar Cycle Market, was seen misbehaving with a woman inside his shop in a viral video. Public outrage led to angry crowds gathering outside his shop, forcing police to intervene. The back-to-back exposure of madrasa teachers involved in such indecent acts raises serious concerns about systemic issues that need urgent attention.
A Wake-Up Call Against Cyber and Social Exploitation
The arrest of Soyav Khan in Rajasthan and the earlier Jodhpur incident highlight how sextortion and exploitation are becoming a dangerous trend with both local and international dimensions. These cases serve as a wake-up call for law enforcement agencies to intensify cyber surveillance and for society to remain vigilant against such predators. Cyber awareness, timely reporting, and strict monitoring of such institutions are crucial to protect women and vulnerable individuals from further exploitation.
