KRISHNAGIRI: Three teenage boys in Krishnagiri allegedly blackmailed a 14-year-old schoolgirl with her morphed photos, coercing her to send to them her real nude photos and videos. On receiving her real nude videos, the boys — all school dropouts aged between 14 and 16 — blackmailed the girl’s father demanding Rs 10 lakh lest they would upload them in social media. The Krishnagiri all women police have arrested all the boys.According to the complaint by the girl’s father, a 14-year-old schoolboy, who dropped out of school six months ago, was staying with his parents on rent on the ground floor of a building. The girl and her parents were staying on the first floor on rent. The girl was the boy’s former classmate. Two friends of the boy, both school dropouts like him, visited his house every now and then. They noticed the girl living upstairs. They asked him about the girl. He told them that he knew the girl’s Instagram ID, Facebook ID and mobile number. The trio downloaded her photos from her Instagram account, created a new fake Instagram ID and contacted her. They allegedly began messaging her and asked questions like who she spoke to at school, who she loved and whom her sister loved. The trio then morphed a photo of the girl and sent it to her. They threatened to spread the nude photos of her and her sister on social media. They allegedly demanded that she send to them her real nude videos and photos to prevent them from doing so. The girl, scared, allegedly sent her nude videos and photos to them. They then sent the videos and photos to her father’s WhatsApp number and threatened that if the content was circulated, the family’s honour would be lost. They demanded Rs 10 lakh from him, according to police. The girl’s father filed a police complaint on Wednesday evening, based on which the Krishnagiri all women police registered a case and arrested the trio. They were sent to an observation home.
