"The accused lured her into attending an online interview via video call, during which some persons, posing as representatives of the company, coerced her to undress, recorded the video and took screenshots,"

The woman alleged that the accused harassed her for the past two months and demanded she meet him in Bengaluru or else he would make her videos and pictures public.

Police said the accused has confessed to his crime.

"The chats and videos of the victim recorded on the phone of the accused were recovered. The phone will be sent for a cyber forensic examination," he said.

The investigation suggested the accused created fake accounts using VPN phone numbers and posted fraudulent job offers targeting female victims.

"They randomly contacted women, induced them to participate in online interviews with promises of high salary packages, and then recorded their objectionable images and videos. These recordings were subsequently used to blackmail the victims for sexual gratification,"

Following the arrest, the accused was booked under Indian Penal Code sections 354 A , 384 and provisions of the Information Technology Act
