Blackmailed By Uncle Over Private Photos, Bengaluru Techie Dies By Suicide 2

A 24-year-old woman working in the tech industry tragically died after setting herself on fire in a Bengaluru hotel room. Police revealed on Thursday that she was allegedly being repeatedly blackmailed by her uncle and aunt, who had obtained her private photos and videos.

The woman’s uncle, identified as the prime accused, has been arrested, and a detailed investigation is in progress, police confirmed.

According to Whitefield Deputy Commissioner of Police Shivakumar Gunar, the woman was initially reluctant to visit the hotel room, where her uncle was waiting, but was forced to do so after he threatened to share her private photos and videos with her parents. 

The victim, however, carried some petrol that she poured on herself inside the room and set herself ablaze, police said. She succumbed to injuries in the hospital.

The woman’s mother claimed that her daughter had been living with her uncle and aunt for six years and often accompanied them on trips.

According to the police, a pen drive was seized from the man’s possession. A case has been filed against the man and his wife under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the HAL Police Station, and a thorough investigation is currently underway.
