The incident is learnt to have taken place when the NRI youth and his friend  had rented a room in  a hotel. Sources say they were approached by a ten member gang who introduced a girl who was with them  as a TV actress. It is learnt they demanded Rs 10 lakhs  from the duo which the latter  said they were unable to pay. It is learnt,  the  men later forcibly removed the NRI youth’s clothes and forced him to pose  for photos with the woman. They then threatened to make the photos public if their demand was not fulfilled. They later demanded Rs 3 lakhs immediately.

The NRI and his friend promised to borrow from friends and pay and the assailants let them go. But the two mustered courage to complain to the police and as per the directions of the police  asked the gang to come to BC Road Vidyanagar to collect the money. As they arrived, police men in plain clothes arrested them. It is learnt, they had even stolen the cell phone and bike of the NRI youth.
