Gay men pune

Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad have reported multiple cases where people have been attacked, blackmailed, sexually abused and robbed by individuals they met on various gay dating apps.

In a recent incident, Sujal Sunil Mankar (21) jumped to his death from the elevated Sant Tukaram Nagar Metro station after being blackmailed over his nude photos. According to the police, a week before the suicide, the accused students called Mankar, who was pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) degree at Dr DY Patil College in Pimpri, to a room at Maheshnagar. There, he was forced to extract his clothes and his nude photographs were taken. Later, the accused demanded money to prevent the photographs from being uploaded on social media. Mankar paid ₹35, of the ₹50, demanded but was under pressure to settle the remaining amount, which eventually led to his suicide. The police added that the prime accused had created a profile on a gay digital dating app, through which he befriended Mankar and lured him to the room.
