Kolkata: A 42-year-old cardiologist fell prey to a group of blackmailers, who trapped the doctor via dummy patient and stripped him, clicked his pictures and later used the photographs to extract Rs 10 lakh cash and jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh from the medical practitioner.
The case relates to a cardiologist settled in Kolkata for the last 22 years, who fell in for trouble after he received a call on December 6 at around 3:41 pm. The call was made by a woman who introduced herself as Sona Acharya, seeking immediate treatment claiming that she was suffering from acute chest pain. The woman insisted the doctor to reach out to her help at Panchanantala, Dum Dum and even promised to pay his fees of Rs 4500.
