An audio clip which detailed the blackmail and fraud the man was subjected to was shared on social media yesterday (Wednesday, October 20). The police immediately formed a CID team to identify the suspect.

Through investigation and after gathering evidence, the team was able to determine the identities of both the blackmailer and the victim, and arrested the woman.
