NEW DELHI: A woman, in her late thirties, has been arrested in Jaipur for extorting money from a Delhi doctor by blackmailing him with a " sleazy video ".

The doctor, posted in a prominent government hospital, said he had gone to a medical college in Jaipur last year when he came in contact with the woman, Meenakshi, who runs a beauty parlour. The two soon became friends.

On December 10, 2013, the doctor alleged Meenakshi had called him to her house and drugged him. She then forced him to have a physical relationship with her, he claimed. The woman, the doctor said, claimed to have recorded an intimate video of them. After some days, she allegedly sent him a message asking for Rs 2 crore in exchange for the video. The doctor alleged she kept on asking for money even after he had given her about Rs 15 lakh.

Last week, the doctor said she called him and asked for more money. She also threatened to register a rape case against him at a police station in Jaipur. Following this, the doctor registered a complaint at the Prashant Vihar police station in the capital.

Police accompanied the doctor to the college in Jaipur, where the woman had asked him to come with the money. She was arrested while accepting the money on Saturday.
