She sent a message on WhatsApp on July 20 at 10.16 p.m. which read: “Hi, how are you?” Later, at around 10.22 p.m., he got a video call. The MP had then answered the call and asked her “what does she want?”

She spoke in Hindi, and after a while, Siddeshwara disconnected the call. The woman, however, made repeated phone calls even as the calls were rejected.

At around 10.27 p.m., the woman again made a video call on WhatsApp and as soon as Siddeshwara answered it, she appeared nude.

Later, another call was made to the MP. The caller tried to blackmail the BJP leader, saying “a video call screenshot” was obtained, and the picture would be uploaded.

A police officer said that they are looking into the matter.
