Bhopal orthopedic surgeon files complaint against journalist for blackmailing
Bhopal: In a tussle between an orthopedic surgeon and a journalist, the doctor recently filed an FIR against the journalist and his associates for blackmailing him to pay Rs 50 lakh. In response to this, the journalist has now moved a cross-complaint, alleging that the doctor misbehaved with her inside his clinic.
The case involves employees of a news channel and the doctor, who in the first place lodged an FIR against the group alleging that they blackmailed him and tried to extort money from him. According to a recent media report, the woman approached the doctor who is an orthopedic surgeon and visited his clinic for consultation on the 29th of August evening.
When she was inside the doctor's chamber, four men abruptly barged in the clinic and started recording a video. The doctor in his complaint alleged that the offenders started blackmailing him and even threatened to post a fake video on the social media platform which can tarnish his reputation unless he would agree to pay 50 lakhs.
Thereafter, they allegedly took the doctor to a remote location and tried to pressurize him to pay the amount. However the next day, the doctor lodged an FIR against the accused.
