Ludhiana: A city-based doctor was recently extorted by a group of four impersonators who identified themselves as cops and journalists and demanded Rs 3 lakh from the medical practitioner by threatening him of a police case and falsely accusing him of negligence in treatment that led to the deteriorating condition of one of his patients.
Though the doctor gave Rs 10000 to the fake police, later the two of the fake cops were arrested soon after he moved a complaint with the Moti Nagar police, while, the hunt for nabbing the rest of them is on.
