In a chargesheet filed by the SIT in a state court on Saturday, names of few businessmen and journalists, allegedly involved in extortion of money from some influential people, were revealed.

The chargesheet also has statement of accused Monika Yadav in which she claimed one newspaper owner and two TV reporters were also involved in the extortion. They, she claimed, got transfers done and facilitated funds to NGOs. 

As part of the scam, girls would lay a trap, shoot films and videos of officials, politicians and businessmen and then blackmail them.

Those girls had made a video of a Congress leader of Chhatarpur but couldn't extort money from him due to intervention of a policeman.

Five women and a man was arrested by the Indore Police in October when the honeytrap scandle burst out in open.
