A disturbing case has emerged from Belagavi, Karnataka. A young woman has accused Eshwarsingh Premsingh Badgujar, who resides in Madhava Colony, of cheating, exploitation, and harassment of her, saying he promised to marry her but instead forced her into a physical relationship, blackmailed her with private photos and took huge amounts of money and gold.
The woman said she first met Eshwar Singh on Instagram. Their online friendship soon blossomed into a relationship. She now says he continuously assaulted her and falsely assured her that she would go to marriage. She also claims he used her private photos and videos to blackmail her.
According to her, he took 150 grams of gold and ₹19 lakh. She said this included her mother’s gold, money from her father’s fixed deposit, and online transfers directly to his account.
When she asked him to marry her, his mother asked for ₹3 crore. The victim also claimed he was cheating her through a fake gold mortgage scheme. She said he continues to harass her by sending photos of other girls, adding to her emotional distress.
The woman said she approached Shahapur police for help but was asked to compromise. She said the police did not register her complaint and instead supported the accused. She later went to the Police Commissioner’s office where she broke down and pleaded for justice. She has also suggested action against the police for failing to act despite clear orders.
This case exposes two serious issues: exploitation of women through false promises and blackmail, and neglect of victims by authorities who are supposed to protect victims. The allegations show how vulnerable women can be targeted online, manipulated emotionally, and financially drained. It also raises questions about accountability within the police system when victims are denied justice.
The Belagavi case is not just one woman’s pain; it’s a symptom of exploitation, fraud, and lack of institutional support. The victim’s courage in speaking out should serve as a wake‑up call. The authorities must do their job, hold the accused accountable, and take action against the police officers who didn’t do anything. And justice delayed is justice denied, and society should ensure victims have a place to be protected, respected, and listened to.
