Mumbai Sextortion Case: J&K Cricketer Granted Bail
A cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir, Farkhanda Aziz Khan, was arrested along with her brother and an associate for allegedly extorting ₹63 lakh from a businessman.
The accused allegedly threatened to publish sexually explicit chats unless the businessman paid them.
The court granted bail to Farkhanda on a personal bond of ₹1 lakh.
The prosecution claims the extorted money was used to buy a BMW and fund educational expenses, while the defense likely argues the evidence is insufficient.
The court directed Farkhanda to attend trial proceedings and barred her from leaving India without permission.
