According to the police, the victim had told his friends about his plans to contest the elections but they were opposed to the idea and planned to defame him. On April 27, when the man’s wife and children were not at home, they brought liquor to his house and got him drunk.

“We suspect that it was a planned move by the three men who wanted to defame the victim. They brought drinks to his house and made him consume a large quantity of alcohol. They subjected him to unnatural sex acts with each of them and filmed it on their smartphones,” Anil Kumar Yadav, circle officer (Indirapuram), said.

“After filming the act, they put up the videos online. When one of these videos reached the victim, he approached the men. In turn, the three went to the police and told them that it consensual and the man was trying to implicate them,” Yadav said.

“The three men were arrested on April 29 and produced before the court,” Yadav said.
