Someone Claiming to Be Police is Blackmailing Me Over an Escort

This is almost certainly an extortion scam and you have not committed any criminal offence under Indian law based on the facts you have described. On the legal position, consensual sexual activity between two adults in a private setting is not a criminal offence in India. Prostitution by itself is not illegal under Indian law — what is criminalised under the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956 is running a brothel, soliciting in public, or being part of an organised prostitution racket. A private consensual meeting with an adult escort does not fall under any of these categories and no offence is made out against you. On the blackmail calls, genuine police action does not happen through threatening phone calls. If you were actually a suspect in any case the police would issue a formal notice or summons through official channels. The caller using fear, demanding to know personal details like your age and location, and asking for money are classic signs of an extortion racket, often run with the involvement of the escort or her associates who deliberately collect contact details, chat history and payment records to use against clients. Do not pay anything under any circumstances. Once you pay, the demands will not stop — it will only confirm to the blackmailer that you can be pressured further and the harassment will escalate. Do not engage with them, do not share any personal information, and do not respond to further calls from any unknown number related to this matter. Since you have already blocked the number you have taken the right step. Additionally save all records of the calls and messages received before blocking. If the harassment continues through other numbers or means, file a complaint on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in or at your nearest police station. Cybercrime authorities deal with exactly these kinds of extortion rackets and can take effective action against them.
