According to sources, the doctor girl from Surat who now lives in the United States (US) met Naidu through a social media platform. When the female described herself as a doctor, the accused replied that he was also a doctor. However, they drew close to each other on the social networking platform.
Both exchanged numbers and then began conversing.
They swapped numbers and soon began speaking. Accused Gurprasad used to message and call the girl on WhatsApp from various numbers, tricking her and asking for nude images.

After getting these images, Guruprasad revealed himself and demanded money, threatening to make the photos go viral.
Guruprasad Guruappanaidu Kovi (Naidu) was caught up by the police in Chennai.
