Background
In early 2019, a young woman (referred to as Ananya Banerjee) reconnected with a man who introduced himself as Arup Sen. Over time, they developed a relationship. However, his real name was later revealed to be Rajat Chatterjee, a married man with a daughter. Rajat had gone to the extent of creating a fake Aadhaar card to hide his real age, marital status, and identity.
For more than two years, Ananya was manipulated into believing false information and was emotionally dependent on Rajat. Despite discovering the truth in 2020, she continued the relationship due to emotional attachment and false promises of a future together.
By November 2022, Ananya married a genuine match found through her family. This new chapter brought her peace and stability, but her past soon became a weapon against her.
The Problem
From December 2023 onward, Rajat began blackmailing Ananya. He threatened to disclose private photographs, details of trips, and sensitive personal history—including a failed pregnancy, unless she complied with his demands. His coercion included:
- Pressure to resume a physical relationship despite her marriage.
- Forcing her to share hourly selfies and screenshots of conversations with her husband.
- Repeated threats of exposure to her in-laws, family, and on social media.
By 2025, Ananya was pregnant with twins through IVF, but Rajat intensified his threats, demanding she continue the relationship or risk public humiliation.
Approach by Eye Witness Detective Agency
When Ananya approached the Eye Witness Detective Agency, she was emotionally distressed, fearful of social disgrace, and unsure of how to protect herself and her unborn children. Our team of investigators and counselors took a multi-layered approach:

- A digital trail of Rajat’s blackmail activities was preserved for legal purposes.
Background Verification
-
- Our investigators traced Rajat’s real identity, family background, and verified his fraudulent actions.
- His history of deceit and use of fake documents was validated with proof.
Risk Mitigation Strategy
- Ananya was guided on securing her personal data and digital accounts.
- We advised on steps to restrict his access and block potential leaks of private content.
Legal Assistance Support
- We connected Ananya with legal experts specializing in cybercrime, blackmail, and harassment cases.
- Drafts for FIR filing and legal notices were prepared with documented evidence collected by Eye Witness.

- Successfully gathered strong legal evidence against Rajat.
