Lok Sabha MP honey-trapped, cops on the hunt for woman

May 01, 2017 08:18

A Lok Sabha member of Parliament has complained to his party's leadership of being "honey-trapped', drugged and filmed in an objectionable state by an unidentified woman, the Times of India reports.

The gang has allegedly threatened to release his pictures and videos if the demand was not met.

The woman has also threatened to implicate the MP in a rape case, the newspaper said.

The MP, whose identity has not been disclosed, has said in his complaint that the woman, who had sought his help in some matter, asked him to accompany her to a house in Ghaziabad, where he was served drinks laced with a sedative.

'Special commissioner Mukesh Meena has confirmed that the case was under investigation. The police are treating the case as top priority and arrests are likely soon. An FIR has been filed under section 384 (extortion) of the IPC,' the Times reports, 'and that a special team has been formed to crack the case.'
