Additional DCP-1 Rupinder Kaur Sra said that a probe was initiated on basis of the video and the woman was traced. “She is an addict and was earlier admitted to a de-addiction centre four times but she ran away without completing treatment,” Sra said. “She said that she was in a park and was vomiting when a man who was smoking came to her. She said that the man who claimed to be a local journalist, promised to give her money and drugs if she would said the words on camera. They had promised her Rs 2000 but gave Rs 1000 after the video was recorded,” said the ADCP.
