The police have taken two girls Hina (22) from Mysuru and Virajapet resident Anitha (32) into their custody who played a major role in the honey trap.

Kerala based 50 year old jewelry merchant TV Nizar residing in Mysuru received a miss call from Hina a month earlier and following the miscall the merchant called her back to know the caller.

After two three days, Hina introduced her friend Anitha to the merchant and later trio decided to spend a day together in Mysuru. After some discussions the three met at a hotel in Mysuru nearly month earlier. The two girls took the video when the merchant was spending his happy time with them.

Hina handed over the videos to Noushad who is the master mind in the case and had given the cell phone number of the merchant to Hina to shed the merchant into honey trap. After obtaining the videos, Nousahd made a DVD and sent to the merchant through courier asking the merchant to handover Rs 1 crore. The accused also warned the merchant that the video would be uploaded in social media if he fails to hand over Rs 1 crore to him.
