With the information provided by Tahir Rasheed, a raid was conducted at the woman’s house and three cellphones were recovered and the technical analysis confirmed the claims made by the victim.

The woman was arrested by police for blackmailing her ex-boyfriend and further investigation revealed that this wasn’t the first time she had been involved in such activities.

Previsously, she was involved in blackmailing a relative of the victim as well. It is pertinent to mention that the woman was a school teacher and actually in charge of the welfare of children.
