Hyderabad:Begumpet police have booked a cab driver from Balkampet for allegedly blackmailing a 30-year-old woman with personal photographs taken during their earlier acquaintance.
Investigators said the accused, identified as Uma Mahesh, recently sent the images to the woman — who lives in Prakashnagar and has been separated from her husband since 2024 — threatening to post them on social media and share them with her family unless she complied with his sexual demands.
After receiving the threats, the victim approached Begumpet police, who registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. A search is under way to catch the suspect.
