Ex-teacher held for running honey-trap racket using matrimonial sites

Bengaluru, Jan 4 : The Bengaluru police arrested a 38-year-old woman who uploaded her profile on various matrimonial websites to trap people to blackmail them for ransom, East Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner S.D. Sharanappa said here.
According to the police, the arrested has been identified as Kavitha C. S., a resident of Devaiah Park in East Bengaluru.
The police said that she formerly worked as a teacher in a government school in Chikkamagaluru district for some time but she was terminated from the services for her insubordination as well as remaining absent for a very long period.
“She had faced a case after her school headmaster booked a complaint against her alleging that she had assaulted him by falsely making accusations,” the police said.
Her deed came to light, when a victim, Prem Daniel, resident of Indiranagar, narrated his ordeal to the police alleging that Kavitha had foisted a false rape case against him.
“The victim works in a private firm, with whom the accused got in touch through the matrimonial site and befriended him. After dating for sometime through chats, they met and entered into a consensual relationship. The accused recorded their encounters and started blackmailing him,” the police stated in a note.
