The man, a private company employee, lives in Doddanekkundi in Whitefield. He told cops that he had befriended an unidentified girl on WhatsApp last month. The girl named Nisha claimed she was working with a call centre and belonged to Kerala.
The man lives alone in a paying guest accommodation since his housemate went back home after the pandemic-induced lockdown. According to a Times of India report, Nisha told the man that she liked to chat on 'hot topics' over the phone.
"Last week, Nisha said she wanted to see me in the nude. Initially, I refused. Then, she promised she would also strip after I remove my clothes," the man said.

Blindly believing her, the man stripped naked on a video call and while he was nude, Nisha abruptly disconnected the call. After that, the man failed to contact her as her phone was switched off.
A few days later, the man received a call from a stranger who claimed that he had a video of him completely naked and threatened to upload it on social media unless he got paid. The miscreant demanded Rs 50,000 to get rid of the video and after some bargaining, they agreed on an amount of Rs 22,000. The man transferred the money online but the blackmailer called again the next day, asking for more.
Coming to the realisation that he will lose a lot of money over this, the man made the smart decision of approaching the cyber crime police and filing a complaint.
