Mumbai: A 26-year-old man from Saki Naka, Mumbai, seduced a 21-year-old girl and married her by blackmailing her with their intimate videos. He later forced her to sleep with two of his friends.

The situation dates back to 2007 when Imran Khan befriended her and took her to a guesthouse in Titwala.

"Khan drugged her and forced her to have sex with him. He also recorded the entire act and then blackmailed her with it," said a police official at Saki Naka police station, where a case has been registered against Khan.

In April 2010, Khan married her under the Muslim Marriage Act at the Bandra court.

She thought the marriage would end her worries but it was not destined to be as Khan had other plans in mind.
