Youth Cong leader among two held in honey-trap case

Mangaluru, June 10 (UNI) Two persons, including a Youth Congress functionary, have been arrested in connection with an alleged honey-trap and blackmail case in coastal Karnataka in which a contractor was allegedly extorted of Rs 2.57 crore, police said on Wednesday.
The accused have been identified as Jitesh and Nizam alias Ibrahim. According to police, Jitesh, who was reportedly acquainted with the contractor, allegedly recorded private videos and photographs of the victim without consent and used them to blackmail him since 2024.
Investigators alleged that Nizam later joined Jitesh in the extortion racket under the guise of helping the contractor resolve the issue. The duo is accused of threatening the victim by falsely claiming that Jitesh had died by suicide and that the contractor's name appeared in a purported death note, warning him of possible legal consequences unless he paid money.
