Rajkot: Three persons, who posed as journalists, were arrested for trying to extort money from a homeopathic doctor in Gondal town of Rajkot district on Sunday.
At around 11am, when Dr Riddhi Radadiya reached her clinic, she saw three men doing a video shoot there.
They told the doctor that her father-in-law Chunilal, who administers the clinic, was illegally checking the patients and even prescribing medicines.
The trio identified themselves as scribes and asked Dr Riddhi to pay money in lieu of not publicising this. However, she immediately called the cops, who detained the three from the spot.
Those caught were Piyush Rathod, Sufiyan Savan and Sslam Salim Shah. They were booked for extortion.
Dr Riddhi has been practising in the town for the last two years.
