Kurnool: Hyderabad builder narrowly escaped a chilling ordeal after being lured into a honeytrap in Kurnool. The victim, Muccharla Sivakumar Reddy, was allegedly contacted by a woman and subsequently entrapped by a group of individuals.
Upon arriving in Kurnool, Reddy was reportedly subjected to physical assault and filmed in a compromising situation. The perpetrator group, involving transgender individuals, then threatened to release the footage unless Reddy paid a hefty sum of `20 lakh.
