Police have uncovered a gang led by Shweta Jain that was preparing honey‑trap schemes against prominent individuals in Indore and Ujjain, after the leader’s release from a previous conviction.
Police in Madhya Pradesh have identified a criminal network operating in the Indore‑Ujjain corridor that was preparing honey‑trap operations aimed at several high‑profile individuals. The investigation revealed that the scheme involved luring targets into compromising situations to facilitate extortion or other illicit gains.
The group is headed by Shweta Jain, who previously served a prison term for a similar honey‑trap case. Her earlier conviction demonstrated the method of using romantic deception to trap victims, and she was released after completing the sentence.
Following her release, Jain allegedly re‑assembled a team of women and re‑established an organized gang focused on repeating the honey‑trap strategy. Sources say she recruited new members and coordinated the planning of traps against influential figures in both cities.
Law enforcement officials have launched a crackdown on the gang, seizing evidence and questioning suspects to prevent further exploitation. The case underscores the continuing threat of sophisticated confidence‑fraud schemes in the region.
