Mumbai: Trombay Police on Tuesday arrested two persons on charges of gangraping a woman by threatening to circulate her nude photographs. Soon after the offence was registered on Monday, police arrested the duo, identified as Amjadali Mohammadjama Khan, 30, and Noor Mohammad Najir Shaikh, 42.

According to police, the survivor is a resident of Panchgani and came in contact with Khan through a mutual friend. After a few days of conversation, Khan convinced her to send her nude photographs, after which Khan and his friend Shaikh began blackmailing her into a physical relationship.
