In a sordid tale of suicide, extortion and the betrayal of friendship, two male journalists have been arrested for extorting Rs 10 lakh from a female reporter who was also their friend. The accused have been identified as Nishat Shamshi and Tahir Beg. According to the complainant Nisha, the saga began in April, when her husband Naman and his friend Manoj went on a trip to Goa (names have been changed to protect their identity). Manoj's girlfriend committed suicide and left a note behind, claiming that he never spent time with her because of Naman.
