The case dates back to 2023.
A 27 yr old woman had taken a loan from an online app. She received Rs 22000 and soon started getting calls demanding repayment. When she received obscene morphed pictures of herself , she lodged a police complaint.
The mastermind who engaged the collegians and morphed the woman’s pictures is yet to be traced.
Kumar and Jain told the police that they had responded to an advertisement about share trading on Telegram app when they came into contact with the prime accused.
