The racket runs in a way that the fraudsters make friends with the fixed victims. After taking their WhatsApp number, they make video calls with obscene content. Later, the fraudsters will morph the video and attack the victim's face to the video and blackmail them to send money, or else they will make the video public.

The victims have sent money to the fraudsters fearing that they might leak the morphed videos on the internet. The fraudsters have demanded money in lakhs from each victim and they always target people with a high-five circle.

Bharatpur area in Rajasthan is the main center for the extortion racket. Besides using morphed videos, the fraudsters also pose themselves as the call center executives and target the victims and extort money from them.

More details on the extortion racket came to the limelight after the main accused Hakmuddin was nabbed by the Cybercrime cops. During the investigation, he reportedly shared details on how they work and the way they operate. They made strong protection around the racket making the racket unbreakable or untraceable.
