UP Woman Accused of Extorting Rs 6 Crore Using Intimate Photos from Tinder DatesPreviousNext

A woman named Pallavi Singh Rajput in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, is accused of befriending men via Tinder and social media, then allegedly blackmailing them with intimate photos and videos to extort over Rs 6 crore. The threats reportedly included serious criminal charges such as rape and attempted murder. A complaint by a High Court lawyer has prompted a police investigation. Claims include that five people were jailed following complaints filed by the woman, though these allegations remain unverified.
