In a startling case from Chhattisgarh's Durg district, a 28-year-old man named Vinay Kumar Sahu has been arrested for extorting Rs 10 lakh from a couple. Sahu, who had repeatedly failed civil services examinations, resorted to crime as a desperate measure.

According to police, Sahu initially entered the couple's house with the intention of burglary but ended up recording their intimate moments and blackmailing them for money. The couple, residents of Ahiwara village, reported the incident after receiving the explicit video and extortion demand.

A joint police operation led to Sahu's arrest on June 25. The accused, who had a history of petty thefts, has now been booked under section 384 of the Indian Penal Code for extortion. Further investigation is ongoing.
