Panaji: Close on the heels of the Scarlette Keeling murder case and the news of an international sex racket, two college girls - who were allegedly blackmailed through an obscene MMS clip purportedly featuring them - have committed suicide in Ponda town.
The incident occurred a month ago but went largely unreported. It was finally taken up by the state opposition BJP that sought an intervention from the National Commission for Women.
"I have handed over the (MMS) CD to Director-General of Police B S Brar and Chief Secretary J P Singh," Leader of the Opposition in the assembly Manohar Parrikar said.
He said the party women's wing will be approach the NCW to take up the case.
The girls hailing from the temple town of Ponda - the constitutency of Home Minister Ravi Naik - reportedly committed suicide on March 26 after being blackmailed for "sexual favours" by some travel agency personnel.
The coastal state considered a tourist haven has recently been in the news for the death of British teenager Scarlette Eden Keeling who was drugged and raped and her body was found on Anjuna beach.
An international call girl ring allegedly being run by a Uzbekistan woman was also busted in the state last week.
