The CCB Police in Bengaluru have successfully arrested a gang involved in a honey-trapping scheme that targeted a local businessman. The arrested individuals include Khaleem, Sabha, Obed Rakim, and Atiq, who were caught in the CCB's well-executed trap while attempting to ensnare businessman Atifullah.

Among the apprehended, Khaleem and Sabha are a married couple. It was Khaleem who initially introduced Atifullah to Sabha, posing as Sabahal's widow, and urged her to take care of the businessman. Subsequently, physical contact between Sabha and Atifullah ensued.

Upon the booking, the accused gained entry into the room after a brief interval, creating a sudden disturbance. Khaleem, Rakib, and Atiq Sukha, among others, directed a ruckus and demanded a sum of six lakh rupees, threatening to disclose the situation to Atifullah's family.
