Kolhapur Sex Scandal: Police sources claim Sanadi scammed women aged 18 to 22 using social media. He allegedly made friends, won their confidence and eventually manipulated them into sexual acts. Authorities say that following the alleged sexual exploitation, he recorded pornographic videos of the victims and used these to blackmail the victims. The victims are believed to be from the towns of Shiroli, Hupari and Hatkanangale, implying that this case is multi-jurisdictional and may have a broader network.

Kolhapur Sex Scandal: The allegations state that the victims were recorded without their permission and the recorded material served as improper evidence. The police investigation includes looking into claims that some video material was shared with other people, which increased existing worries about sexual misconduct. The authorities believe the executed crimes show signs of a deliberate design instead of showing patterns of unorganized behavior.
