BENGALURU: A man, who bared himself during a video call with a woman, ended up paying Rs 20,000 to her earlier this month.
Ambit Kumar Mishra, 33, of Hulimavu filed a cheating and extortion complaint against Shreya whom he met on a matrimonial site. Shreya expressed interest to marry him, claiming she is a software engineer in Electronics City. Soon, they started talking over the phone.
“She asked me to make a video call on WhatsApp at 2pm on February 7. Initially, we had a chat about our professions and later, she removed her clothes and said I should do the same. When I did so, she recorded the call and later demanded Rs 1 lakh, threatening to make the clip public. I paid Rs 20,000 to her on February 7. Now, she is demanding more money,” Mishra said in his complaint filed on February 15.
Hulimavu police said Mishra hadn’t met Shreya in person. They suspect he made the call from Howrah in West Bengal.
