New Delhi: Members of a sextortion gang allegedly duped an Ayurvedic doctor of more than Rs 8 lakh in the name of deleting an ''obscene'' video of him in east Delhi's Khichripur area, police said on Wednesday.
According to the FIR, registered at a cyber police station in east district, the 71-year-old doctor said he had received a video call on July 13 last year, which he attended.
“The caller was a woman, she shouted that someone needed medical help and the call got disconnected. I thought that some patient needed my help,” read the FIR.

The complainant further told the police that he got a video call again late at night, but could not attend it as he was sleeping. On July 14, he got a call again and the moment he received it, he saw a woman undressing, police said citing the FIR.
“I immediately disconnected the call and switched off my mobile phone. On July 15, when I turned on my phone, I started getting calls from different people who introduced themselves as personnel of Delhi Police and told me that my video went viral on social media,” the FIR read.
