Rajasthan man arrested for sexually assaulting over 40 women, minors

Jaipur: A man from Rajasthan has been arrested for sexually assaulting over 40 women including minors by creating explicit videos and photos.

The accused, identified as a Barmer resident named Mukesh Kumar Damami, even targeted his mother-in-law.

According to the police report, Damami used to work as a drummer in wedding ceremonies, during which he allegedly approached women and blackmailed them by threatening to edit and circulate their intimate photos and videos.

The police arrested him following a complaint lodged by a victim at the Samdari Police Station on June 6 and were shocked to discover the modus operandi adopted by the man.

The police further revealed that he would also engage in video calls with women while enabling screen recorders to capture their conversations without the victim’s knowledge.

Later, he would edit these videos and convert them into explicit content. Also, he would blackmail victims by threatening to circulate their intimate photos and videos, extorting money from them.

The Police officials said that they have seized a pen drive in which Damami stored the private photos and videos of over 40 women from 6 villages and are now interrogating the suspect under the POCSO Act.

The report said that the photos and videos of village women and underage girls were circulating for the last two months.
