Tripura CM SAID "NO, NOT OUR rebels (maybe Bhargava himself-who was accused loudly by a CRPF woman of molesting her).
And a Dibrugarh Assam Police racket was exposed by NETV last month of actually running such blacmailing/extorting rackets.
The reporter's name is Sayed-muslim Brahmin!! Money compromised him and his owner.

ULFA using Delhi sex workers for extortion
http://www.newkerala.com/news2.php?action="">
By Syed Zarir Hussain, Guwahati: The outlawed United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) has been using call girls from Delhi as baits to extort and kidnap businessmen in Assam to raise funds, police here said Tuesday.
A police spokesman claimed they foiled such an attempt in Assam's main city of Guwahati by arresting a top ULFA leader along with two New Delhi-based sex workers over the weekend.
"This is the latest modus operandi of the ULFA - luring businessmen with the help of call girls and then extorting money from them," Rajen Singh, additional police chief of Guwahati, told IANS.
The ULFA is a frontline rebel army fighting for an independent Assamese homeland since 1979. A local court remanded the three arrested people to 10 days' police custody.
"Interrogations of the arrested trio have revealed plans being hatched by them to kidnap some businessmen from Guwahati for ransom," Singh said. "This is the first time we have come across such tactics by the ULFA for extorting money although they failed due to our timely intervention."
The arrested ULFA rebel, Ajit Das, is believed to be an explosives expert and was allegedly involved in a number of extortion cases.
"The two women, arrested along with the ULFA leader, are New Delhi-based sisters involved in some sleazy activities," Singh said.
There were no immediate comments available from the ULFA. An official investigating the case said the two sisters were being especially flown in from New Delhi by the ULFA for carrying out extortions in Guwahati.
"The two sisters would first become friendly with the businessman and then the ULFA militants would use them as tools to extort money. There were plans to kidnap at least seven to nine businessmen who refused to pay the extortion amount," the official who wished not to be identified said.
Intelligence officials said the cash-strapped ULFA was looking for ingenious methods to extort money following stepped up vigil and anti-insurgency operations by the security forces in Assam.
"We have been able to choke their fund flow and hence the outfit was trying to resort to some clever ploy to trap unsuspecting people using call girls," the intelligence official said.
Police in the neighbouring state of Tripura had last year unravelled a racket where tribal separatists made pornographic films using their women cadres for raising funds.
Police in Tripura said the shocking revelations were made by some surrendered rebels of the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), a rebel group fighting for an independent tribal homeland in the state bordering Bangladesh.
Several CDs featuring tribal women from Tripura in the films with explicit sex scenes were seized by police. The films were then sold in various parts of India and other adjoining South Asian countries with the rebels making a huge profit. The money was used for running an armed guerrilla campaign against Indian security forces.
The northeastern region is home to some 30 odd rebel groups with demands ranging from secession to greater autonomy with the various insurgent movements claiming an estimated 50,000 lives since India's independence in 1947.
