As per the complaint filed by Dr. Pawan Chilloria who runs a hospital here, Dr. Santosh Dabade and Dr. Mahendra Galodia, both residents of Dewas, were blackmailing him along with David. Both the accused doctors are yet to be arrested.

A First Information Report was registered against the two doctors and David under Indian Penal Code sections 384 (extortion) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy), the SP said.

David allegedly called the complainant in June and befriended him. The two subsequently met and she had a video and some photographs shot with him, Chilloria told police.

Then she and the other two accused allegedly blackmailed him by threatening to release the video and photos and forced him to cough up Rs 9 lakh, the complainant said. Fed up with constant extortion threats, he finally approached the police in August.

Efforts were on to arrest the two accused doctors who are absconding, SP Singh said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that a doctor associated with a Government Medical College & Hospital (GMC&H) had lost Rs 1.75 lakh after a woman allegedly threatened to make his 'obscene' videos viral on social media.

The doctor accepted the friend request from a woman identified as Payal Joshi on Facebook on August 14. However, it has been reported that the woman indulged in sexual talks with him, following which she asked him to share his mobile number.
