Buzz: Actress filmed clients, made porn CDs

A life of sex, sleaze and deceit unravelled as investigations continued in the case of the small time actress and model Padma Narayanan who had earlier been arrested for allegedly blackmailing a Chennai-based businessman after filming the two of them together. The police have so far recovered several CDs involving Padma and prominent businessmen in the city that were allegedly shot by Padma and her accomplices, not just to blackmail the businessman involved, but also to sell it to foreign customers as full-fledged blue films. “We have concrete information that she has atleast 15 different CDs with Pradeep Konra alone. She has even sent a copy of the CD to an advocate in the city, whose services she had allegedly used to threaten the businessman with the legal details,” said a senior police official investigating the case.

The woman who started out as a small time model soon resorted to high profile prostitution as her income through modelling was not enough. According to sources, it all started when one of her customers who had grown fond of her, wanted to film the sexual act between the two of them on his mobile phone and Padma obliged. When Padma showed the video clippings to her boyfriend Sanjay, the two hatched a nefarious plan of using it to blackmail the businessman. Since then, Padma and Sanjay have shot porn videos involving her and several businessmen and blackmailed them successfully.

“Usually the two demanded Rs 3 to Rs 4 lakhs and the businessmen usually gave in fearing loss of reputation. But Padma knew that Pradeep Konra was a multi-millionaire, so she constantly kept in touch with him and shot several such films with him before she started blackmailing him for a ransom of Rs. 10 crores,” the police added. The police are also investigating to find out if any other prominent people are involved in the crime and are keeping a close watch on Padma at the Puzhal prison. Sources alleged that she might be taken back to the police custody on Monday for further investigations.
