"Since he filmed the video, he kept blackmailing me and raping me while promising to delete the content. He raped me several times and performed unnatural sex with me. I got pregnant out of the relationship. He took away one-month-old baby and now he threatens to kill the child if I lodge any complaint against him. He is blackmailing me and raping me since then. He is well connected and so no one is ready to take my application and register a case," the victim alleged.
