Two women and a man who were part of a honey-trap racket were arrested here for allegedly blackmailing a businessman, the police said Tuesday. Operating in Rajasthan, the trio were threatening to lodge a false rape case against Kishan Bihari Yadav, a resident of Lanka colony in Baran district, if their demands were not met, they said.
