Tamil DNA's video: Kaasi Kanyakumari TamilDNA

An unemployed youth from kanyakumari has been arrested for shooting intimate videos and photographs of more than 100 young women, many of them doctors and medical students in Chennai, he had befriended and extorting lakhs of rupees from them. The case, which has echoes of the Pollachi assault and extortion incident that shook the nation last year, came to light when one of the women lodged a complaint online with the Kanyakumari superintendent of police on Thursday night. The youth, T Kasi alias Suji, 26, of Ganesapuram Main Road in Nagercoil, targeted well-to-do girls he identified on social media with the help of (at least) four other men. Kasi would befriend the women, claiming to be a businessman or a pilot trainee or a lawyer, and would send them photographs and videos of his gym workouts. Once he met them, he would take intimate photographs and videos, often without their knowledge. He took screenshots of intimate video chats with the women he couldn’t meet. Suji would threaten to upload the photographs and videos on social media if the women refused to give him money. He has uploaded photographs and numbers of a few girls. “In most cases the women did not come forward to lodge a complaint for fear of being exposed by the accused,” said Kanyakumari SP N Sreenath. More than 100 girls and women may have been exploited by Kasi, the SP said. “Most of women are in Chennai and they include many doctors,” he told TOI. Kasi was arrested on Friday after a medical student from Chennai lodged a complaint with the SP online on Thursday night. Sreenath said that they had recovered mobile phones, hard disks and CDs among other gadgets from Kasi’s house. Sreenath has asked survivors to directly reach out to him on his mobile number ‘9498111103’ or send complaints in the form of a message to the number. “Strictest action will be taken against the culprits and identity of the complainants will be kept secret,” the SP added. ********************************************************************* Like us on facebook : https://www.facebook.com/tamildnanews Twitter : https://twitter.com/tamildna Instagram : ********************************************************************* Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
