Jaipur Police uncovered a honeytrap and sextortion racket operated by two women, Meetu Pareek and Indu Varma. The duo reportedly befriended wealthy and influential businessmen, invited them to a hotel in Amer, and subsequently demanded ₹5 million by threatening to file false rape cases under Section 376. Victims paid ₹500,000 cash and transferred ₹2 million via RTGS, while being coerced to sign affidavits on stamp paper stating the money was paid voluntarily. When the suspects demanded further payment via cheques, a victim's friend alerted Chitrakoot police. Officers executed 'Operation Cafe Trap' at a cafe in Vaishali Nagar, arresting both women red-handed upon receiving cheques and recovering ₹222,000 in cash. Digital evidence from their mobile phones revealed four additional extortion targets using the same script.

The case involves a planned financial sextortion scheme rather than a genuine romantic relationship. The accused targeted affluent, high-profile men by initiating friendly contacts, accompanying them to hotels, and subsequently threatening to file false rape charges (Section 376) unless substantial sums (₹5 million) were paid. The suspects attempted to formalize the extorted payments by forcing victims to sign affidavits on stamp paper claiming the money was given voluntarily.
Note: This case does not appear to be primarily relationship-driven; it is an organized financial honeytrap and extortion crime. Chitrakoot Police registered a case following a complaint on June 13. Police conducted a plainclothes sting operation ('Operation Cafe Trap') at a cafe in Vaishali Nagar, catching Meetu Pareek and Indu Varma red-handed as they received cheques from the complainant. Police seized ₹222,000 cash from Pareek's purse (intended as Varma's share) and recovered mobile phone evidence containing screenshots, WhatsApp chats, and details of four additional extortion victims. Both suspects were taken into police custody on remand.
Initially, the victims complied with demands out of fear of reputational loss and arrest under Section 376. Clarifications emerged when police established that the women had voluntarily accompanied the victims to the hotel and had initiated contact themselves.
The suspects befriended two businessmen and accompanied them to a hotel in Amer. The next morning, they demanded ₹5 million under threat of lodging a rape case. Distressed, the victims sought help from a friend, who delivered ₹500,000 cash to Meetu Pareek's house and transferred ₹2 million via RTGS to Indu Varma's bank account. When the women demanded an additional ₹300,000 third installment and requested cheques, the friend alerted police. SHO Antim Sharma organized a plainclothes intervention at a cafe in Vaishali Nagar, arresting both women upon receipt of the cheques.
The suspects targeted wealthy, high-profile individuals who feared severe reputational damage. They exploited societal fear surrounding criminal allegations to coerce immediate cash payments, digital transfers, and post-dated cheques, systematically moving from one target to the next.
Organized extortion syndicates leverage fear of legal and reputational ruin to coerce victims into compliance. Prompt reporting to law enforcement enabled a controlled sting operation that caught the perpetrators red-handed and prevented further financial exploitation.
The immediate transition from a friendly hotel outing to extreme monetary demands under threat of criminal prosecution served as the primary indicator of an organized honeytrap.
Repeated aggressive demands for money via WhatsApp messages, calls, insistence on stamp-paper affidavits, and requests for cheques provided critical operational intelligence for police.
Key evidence recovered includes ₹222,000 in cash, post-dated cheques, bank RTGS transaction records, and mobile phone data containing WhatsApp chats, target photos, and screenshots of extortion demands.
The complainant stated that two of his friends were being threatened with a false Section 376 rape case by two women who had voluntarily stayed at a hotel with them. SHO Antim Sharma confirmed that officers in plain clothes arrested both women at a Vaishali Nagar cafe right after they accepted cheques from the complainant.
Initial reporting focused on a single extortion complaint, but follow-up analysis of the suspects' mobile devices expanded the case to reveal four additional high-profile targets subjected to the same ₹5 million demand structure.
Investigators are actively determining whether an organized criminal syndicate or mastermind operated behind the two women and seeking to recover the remaining extorted funds.
