Barmer/Pali, Sept. 6 -- A man allegedly raped a 27-year-old woman in Pali, whom he had met on social media and later blackmailed using her edited obscene photos, police said. The woman alleged that the accused coerced her into meeting him by threatening to make the manipulated images viral on social media. According to the complaint filed at Kotwali Police Station on Friday, the victim, a mother of two, befriended the accused on Instagram while she was living outside Rajasthan. Initially, the accused, identified as Jagdish Kumar, a resident of Sanchore, sent her messages and attempted to get closer, but she ignored his advances. The accused then allegedly downloaded photos from her social media account, edited them into obscene images, and sent them to her, threatening to defame her if she did not meet him. After the victim relocated to Pali with her family, the accused continued to harass her, demanding she meet him or face public humiliation through the viral spread of the edited photos. Frightened, she shared her home address with him. On July 10, Kumar visited her home, where he allegedly got angry when she asked him to delete the photos. Brandishing a knife, he reportedly raped her and took more photos, threatening to ruin her if she spoke about the incident. The victim remained silent out of fear. On August 15, Jagdish returned and allegedly raped her again. The victim confided in her husband on August 31. Following this, she lodged a complaint with the Kotwali Police Station. The police registered a case against Kumar. Authorities have launched an investigation to nab the accused....
