Bhopal Police Apprehend Man for Alleged Identity Fraud, Sexual Assault, and Blackmail
Bhopal police have arrested Avesh Khan for allegedly using a false Hindu identity to sexually exploit and blackmail a woman from the Scheduled Caste community. The suspect reportedly recorded over 40 obscene videos to threaten the victim after his true identity was revealed. Charged under the Rape and SC/ST Act, Khan is now under investigation for potential serial offenses.
The situation escalated when the victim discovered the suspect’s true identity. Upon confronting Khan and subsequently ending the relationship, she was met with threats that the compromising material would be leaked to the public if she did not comply with his demands. Refusing to be silenced, the survivor approached the Katara Hills police, leading to a formal investigation. The arrest was preceded by a brief period of tension as members of a local group intercepted and assaulted Khan before he was taken into official custody. He now faces a litany of serious legal charges, including rape and violations under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
As the legal proceedings move forward, forensic teams are analyzing Khan’s mobile device to recover the recorded material and determine if there are other victims subjected to similar predatory tactics. The Bhopal police are also conducting a thorough background check into Khan’s history in Uttar Pradesh to establish whether this was an isolated incident or part of a larger pattern of criminal behavior. This case underscores the persistent challenges regarding digital privacy and the exploitation of vulnerable communities, highlighting the critical role of prompt law enforcement intervention in addressing identity-based fraud and gender-based violence.
