The Special Wing of the Central City Crime Branch (CCB) has apprehended four individuals, including a married couple, on allegations of engaging in honey trapping against an industrialist.

Upon investigation, it was uncovered that the husband had misrepresented his wife as a widow and orchestrated her involvement with an industrialist to ensnare him and extract money.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Khaleem, Sabha, Obed Rakeem, and Ateeq. Khaleem and Sabha, the married couple, were involved in the attempt to trap Atiullah, the industrialist.

Khaleem introduced his wife Sabha as a widow to Ateeulla and asked him to take care of her.

Soon, Atiullah and Sabha developed physical intimacy.

She asked the victim to accompany her with an Aadhar card to book a hotel room in RR Nagar locality. When Atiullah entered the hotel room, the accused barged in and demanded Rs 6 lac from him to keep his affair secret from his family.

The CCB police received information while the accused were creating a scene and raided the hotel.

The sleuths caught the accused red-handed and took them into custody.

Police suspect that the accused may be involved in a series of honey trapping and extortion cases.

The FIR is being filed at RR Nagar police station, and further investigation is underway.
