The leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (among others) are reportedly involved in India’s ‘biggest’ ever ‘quid pro quo sex scandal’, according to Times of India. The scandal made headlines when a ‘honeytrap probe’ was launched in Central India; since then, 4000 files have been recovered from the investigation.
Leaders of the Congress party, senior, and junior bureaucrats are also involved.
According to the Indian daily, screenshots of sex chats, videos of naked officers and audio clips have been extracted from the laptops and cell phones which were confiscated in the probe. It is reported that women as young as 18 often visited an elite club in Bhopal where rooms were booked by senior bureaucrats.
Seeking and accepting sexual favours is considered a bribe under the new anti-corruption law, and it carries a seven-year jail.
“Once investigations are done, honey-trapped government officials can be booked for seeking and accepting sexual favours,” an officer said. You may also like: Indian Air Force Plane Crashes In Central India
