Woman Alleges Sexual Harassment and Blackmail by Fitness Center Owner A woman has alleged that the owner of a fitness center, M. Ismail, subjected her to sexual harassment, blackmail, and forced her into a sexual assault. The incident, which she described as a systematic pattern of abuse, has sparked calls for strict legal action against Ismail, who is accused of exploiting his position to target multiple women. The survivor detailed how Ismail, posing as a trainer, manipulated his role to gain access to private moments, took compromising photos, and used them to extort and sexually assault her. The woman recounted that she had been visiting the "Power Fitness" center for over a year, initially unaware of Ismail’s true identity. She described how he created a false sense of security by presenting himself as a trainer and even sharing images of Hindu deities in the gym to appear harmless. However, she revealed that Ismail secretly took nude photographs of her during private sessions in a changing room. When she confronted him about the photos, he threatened her, claiming the images were his property and warning her not to speak out. The abuse escalated when Ismail allegedly lured her to the gym late at night, forcing her into a sexual assault while recording the act on video. He then used the footage to blackmail her, threatening to expose the incident unless she complied with his demands. The survivor described how Ismail continued to harass her by sharing the photos on social media, damaging her reputation and causing severe emotional distress. She claimed that Ismail’s actions were not isolated, as he had targeted at least 15 other women in a similar manner, using the same tactics of manipulation and coercion. The survivor also highlighted how Ismail exploited his position to create a culture of fear within the gym.#power_fitness #mismail #shreedhar #psagar #sri_rama_sena
