MP sex scam: Ex-Ministers, top babus, TV reporter under lens

Bhopal: A former MP Cabinet Minister had to resign following a ‘sting operation’ by the honey-trap syndicate in 2016. After watching the two-minute video, authenticated by forensic experts, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership paved the way for his ouster from the government.
Now, videos of two other Ministers in the erstwhile Shivraj Singh Chouhan government, have been authenticated by the special investigation team (SIT) of the MP Police, probing one of the biggest sex & blackmail scandals in the state.
The SIT is also probing the role of a Delhi-based Hindi television journalist for allegedly negotiating extortion deals with victims on behalf of the honey-trap syndicate.
MP Chief Minister Kamal Nath, who is personally monitoring the investigation into the honey-trap sleaze that has rattled the upper echelons of power in the state, has assured that investigation will not be a political witch-hunt.
Help of the best forensic and cyber experts has been sought to identify the ‘targets’ who succumbed to the blackmail and obliged the accused by granting lucrative government contracts and huge funds from the social sector schemes.
The video of the former Minister in the Chouhan government, purportedly shown in the compromising position, was recorded using a high quality hidden camera fitted with a microphone. The woman, shown in the video footage with a clear audio, has reportedly been identified by lynch-pin Shweta Jain as one of her aides.
