Mumbai Chartered Accountant, Blackmailed Into Paying 3 Crores, Dies By Suicide

Mumbai:

A 32-year-old chartered accountant died by suicide on Tuesday after allegedly being blackmailed into paying over Rs three crore in the last few months in Mumbai. According to officials, Raj Leela More consumed poison and left a three-page suicide note, blaming two people – who threatened to leak his private video – for his death.

The note mentioned that Rahul Parwani and Saba Qureshi extorted crores of money from More in the last 18 months by threatening to circulate the video. Officials said that the accused were aware of More’s huge investments in the stock market and his high-paying job as a Chartered Accountant. With the threat, they forced More to transfer a huge amount of money from his company’s account to their personal accounts.

The two accused even forcibly took a luxury car from him, officials added.

More’s mother told the police that her son had been under extreme mental stress over the past few months.
