Ahmedabad, April 5: A startling honey trap case has emerged in the Armori area of Gadchiroli district, Maharashtra. A young woman and her two accomplices are accused of ensnaring a man in a web of deceit, extorting millions from him, and attempting to take his life. This incident has sparked widespread concern and raised questions about law and order in the region.
According to reports, 26-year-old Krishna Maruti Lad, who is involved in the hotel business and pursuing his studies, met 23-year-old Shreya Hemke about a year and a half ago. Their acquaintance gradually evolved into a romantic relationship. Initially, their bond was amicable, but tensions arose when another man entered Shreya’s life.
During this period, Shreya, along with her accomplices Nitin Jodh and Raju Ambani, allegedly began a calculated scheme to blackmail Krishna. They threatened to expose private conversations between Krishna and Shreya, including their WhatsApp chats, and also issued threats to harm him and his family.
Fearing disgrace and damage to his social standing, Krishna reportedly paid the accused between 300,000 to 400,000 rupees over time. However, their demands did not cease, and they subsequently sought an additional 1.5 million rupees.
On March 14, around 8 to 8:15 PM, the accused allegedly ambushed Krishna on the Brahmpuri road, assaulting him. They even attempted to kill him by forcing him to ingest pesticides. In a critical state, Krishna managed to call his brother, who rushed him to the government hospital in Armori.
Due to the severity of his condition, he was later referred to a private hospital in Brahmpuri and subsequently to another private facility in Nagpur for further treatment.
The victim’s family claims that the police delayed filing a report despite the serious nature of the incident. They allege that the accused are influential individuals with purported political connections, leading to initial inaction from law enforcement. After repeatedly visiting the police station from March 31 to April 3, a case was finally registered.
Armori police have filed charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 109, 308(4), 115(2), 126(2), and 3(5). This incident not only highlights the severity of organized crimes like honey traps but also raises critical questions about the timely provision of justice and safety for victims in such cases.
Currently, the police are investigating the matter, examining the roles of the accused, the conspiracy involved, and the alleged political protection surrounding them.
