In an age where the internet holds vast power, Sehaj Arora and Gurpreet Kaur, known popularly as the Kulhad Pizza couple from Jalandhar, found themselves engulfed in a firestorm. The couple faced immense distress after an alleged ‘private video’ of them began circulating on the internet this past Wednesday, September 20.

Today, Sehaj Arora, co-owner of Kulhad Pizza, took to his Instagram platform, releasing an emotionally charged video. He detailed the immense strain and psychological torment both he and his family have been enduring in the wake of the video's unwarranted dissemination. Through his tears, Arora appealed to the public, urging them to cease spreading the footage.

“Just two days ago, we welcomed a child into our world. Instead of joy and jubilation, our home is shrouded in painful silence. My wife, still in the early days of motherhood, is devastated. I implore you to put yourselves in our shoes. Every single one of you has loved ones – mothers, sisters, daughters. Try to fathom the anguish we’re experiencing. We feel trapped, with tarnished reputations. We're bombarded with hurtful remarks, both in the comments and live sessions. I beseech you, with folded hands, to halt sharing this video and refrain from magnifying our trauma,” Arora expressed, his voice laced with desperation.

The video serves as a poignant reminder of the personal cost of public shaming, urging netizens to act responsibly and display empathy in our increasingly interconnected digital world.

Police Involvement and the Growing Mystery of the Viral Video

Sehaj Arora has now turned to the police for assistance in the wake of this tumultuous controversy. While trying to find answers, he attempted to communicate with the alleged blackmailer behind the leak. However, his efforts were met with silence. In a heart-wrenching statement, Sehaj confided, "Our life has been completely upended. Everything we've built and cherished is now at risk."

In the subsequent revelation, Sehaj alluded to a larger conspiracy at play. He posited that the individual presently in custody might not be the true mastermind, as the technical expertise required to circulate the video so broadly seems beyond her. The implication here is that someone more adept might still be at large, orchestrating these damaging leaks.

The details surrounding the video are indeed disconcerting. The footage displays intimate exchanges between a couple, with the man's identity entirely discernible. While the woman's face is partly obscured, some recognizable features correspond with Gurpreet Kaur – most notably a particular tattoo. Additionally, the woman dons red bangles, traditionally worn by Indian brides after their marriage. These same bangles or 'chooda' have been spotted on Gurpreet in their earlier publicized videos.

On Thursday, September 21, as the video's popularity surged, Sehaj Arora addressed the burgeoning rumors. He categorically refuted the video's authenticity in his maiden response on Instagram. "The video is counterfeit," he emphasized, indicating that advanced artificial intelligence technology may have been deployed to manipulate the footage. His message also underscored the profound psychological impact the incident has inflicted on him and his loved ones.

Sextortion Racket Targets Pizza Couple

Arora has shed light on a possible motive behind this scandal, pointing towards a sextortion scheme that appears to be at the heart of this situation. The couple had found themselves cornered by a blackmailer who had been in possession of the video for over two weeks.

Recounting the events, Arora disclosed, “This video, an utter fabrication, was sent to us via an Instagram message. Accompanying this was a demand for money, with threats of publicly releasing the video if the demands weren’t met.” Heeding their conscience over the coercive demand, the couple took the path of righteousness, opting to report the crime rather than give in to the intimidations.

Sehaj recalled their immediate action: "In response to this blatant blackmail, we turned to Jalandhar's Police Station number 4, lodging an official complaint to address this crime." His statement indicated some initial success in the investigation, with a few individuals being taken into custody. However, as the police were making progress, an unexpected interruption in Sehaj's personal life momentarily shifted his focus. This distraction coincidentally or strategically provided the window for the video's unbridled circulation.

The entire sequence of events has unraveled layers of intrigue, pointing towards a carefully orchestrated attempt at extorting the popular pizza joint owners. With Arora's detailed clarifications, it remains to be seen how the case will further unfold.
