The yoga teacher, Rakesh Sharma, is accused of filming intimate videos with the victim during yoga sessions and threatening her for money. The wife was caught while taking extortion money.

The Gurugram Police have made a significant arrest involving the wife of a yoga teacher, who was allegedly caught accepting Rs 1 lakh from a woman they have reportedly blackmailed over the last three years.
