Even after an advisory was issued by the State police against circulation of obscene videos and pictures on internet, such crimes continue unabated.
Two days after a sex video clip featuring two college students of Nayagarh district had gone viral on social media, another obscene video has surfaced in Kendrapada district.
The Derabish police have detained two persons for interrogation in connection with the video featuring intimate scenes of a young couple and blackmailing the girl for making the video viral.
The police probe began on the basis of a complaint lodged by the victim against the accused. The girl alleged that youth, who is featured in the clip, shot the video and made it viral on social media.
According to reports, the girl had relationship with a youth identified as Soumya Ranjan Behera. He forced her to have physical relationship and shot a video featuring their intimate moments.
Behera had been blackmailing her through the video to have relationship and sex with him several times. When the girl protested, he threatened her to make the video viral and throw acid on her face. Even his friends were misbehaving with her and using vulgar language.
