Hooked & robbed: Man duped on gay dating app by rowdy
Bengaluru: In a bizarre blend of romance and deception, a 31-year-old man looking for love on a gay dating app ended up getting lured, locked up, and robbed by a rowdy-sheeter. The victim, Sahil (name changed), a private firm employee and resident of north Bengaluru, had only just downloaded a dating app he found while exploring LGBTQ platforms online. The app seemed harmless enough: just one rupee for a three-day access pass. Within a day of joining, Sahil attracted interest from a user named Sufi. "As soon as I accepted the interest, Sufi made a video call to me through the app, revealing his face and asking for my mobile number to take our friendship further by going offline." The two agreed to meet on July 5 in Govindpura. But what Sahil thought would be a casual date quickly spiralled into a nightmare. Sufi led him to a shed near a paying guest accommodation in Vyalikaval Layout. Moments later, chaos unfolded. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru A man claiming to be the shed's owner barged in and began accusing Sahil of engaging in illegal activity. Without warning, he snatched Sahil's phone. Another man joined in, and the two began roughing him up while Sufi watched. Just when Sahil thought of escaping, Sufi grabbed him and pulled him back in. That's when Sahil learnt the truth: Sufi wasn't just a bad date, he was part of the gang. The men demanded access to his digital wallet and PIN. When Sahil resisted, they threatened to kill him. Out of fear, he transferred Rs 1,000 to them. But they forced him to call his friends and arrange more money, extorting another Rs 2,260 before finally letting him go. Ashamed and shaken, Sahil stayed silent for days as he was haunted, not only by the assault but also the stigma attached to being duped on a gay dating app. But on July 9, he finally mustered the courage to file a police complaint. Acting on the complaint, cops arrested 26-year-old Sufiyan alias Sufi and his 24-year-old associate Mateen. A third accused is on the run. Cops say Sufi is a rowdy-sheeter with an attempted murder case against him, and a history of using dating apps to trap and extort unsuspecting victims. A senior police officer confirmed the case has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 309 (robbery).
