Digital Desk: According to authorities, Delhi-based YouTuber Namra Qadir was detained for reportedly using honey traps and threats to incriminate the owner of a private company in a rape case to extort more than 80 lakh from him.

Manish alias Virat Beniwal, Qadir's husband and a co-defendant, is wanted, according to the police, who also said they are conducting raids to find him. On the video-sharing website, Qadir, 22, has more than 617k users.

Dinesh Yadav, the owner of an advertising company, claimed in his lawsuit that when he first spoke with Qadir, Beniwal was with her. He stated that he paid the 2 lakh that Qadir requested in exchange for her advertising his company on her channel.

After a few days, Qadir revealed her admiration for him and her desire to wed him. According to the lawsuit, they grew to be close friends.

"I went out to a club in August with Qadir and Manish to party. We arranged to stay there really late at night. When I awoke the following morning, Qadir had requested my bank cards and (smart) watch. She threatened to charge me with rape, "claimed the complainant.

Following this, he claimed, "they extorted more than 80 lakh plus gift stuff from me." The victim said in his complaint that he later told his father everything and that he then took him to the police.
