Gurugram, May 14 () A woman has accused her house help of filming her objectional videos after installing spy cameras in her bedroom and blackmailing her for Rs 2 lakh while threatening to circulate her videos on social media, police said.
A 30-year-old victim told the police that she hired a servant, identified as Shubham Kumar, a resident of Kaushambi in Uttar Pradesh, a few days ago through a placement agency.
