Apart from him, the other accused held in the case were identified as Sourav Prakash Nayak and Gautam Maharana, said Hawa Singh, ACP, Gurgaon, Thursday. Bhubaneswar police said Nayak is also an engineer.

In her complaint to Gurgaon police on May 3, the doctor said she had accepted a request from a profile on the matrimonial site with the name of Shakti Arora. She alleged the man asked her to send some of her pictures to show to his family.

They started discussing marriage and as their relationship grew, they shared private pictures, said sources. Soon, the accused started extorting money from her, sources added.

Following her complaint, a case was registered at the women’s police station in Gurgaon sector 51.
