Marital discord broke out and Dr Muralidhar, 43, lodged a complaint with the Cyberabad Cyber Crime Police, who took a month to track down the 'chat artiste, Dr Kumar, at his office at Ghanpur in Warangal.
Dr. Muralidhar, who runs a private veterinary clinic at Banjara Hills was bewildered to find that his arch rival was his 'chat buddy'.
The Cyber Crime Police said that the accused, Ashok Kumar, and Muralidhar had a professional fall out.
“Both are vets and acquaintances. Ashok who had developed an animosity towards the victim, planned to take revenge in this way,” said Cyber Crime inspector Narender Reddy. Ashok Kumar was arrested and charged under Section 66 of the IT Act and produced before the court. He later secured bail in the case.

Hyderabad: A Class VI student, 11-year-old B. Swami, set himself ablaze after allegedly being beaten by his school principal at Banjara Hills on Friday. He succumbed to the burn injuries early on Saturday. At the time of the incident, Swami’s parents were not home.
B. Srinu, Swami’s father, alleged that his son had been beaten up by Venkateswaralu, the principal of Sri Ragavendra Model School, for a petty reason.
Swami, who went to school at 8 am on Friday, returned home in the afternoon and locked the house from inside. His father was out for work, and his mother had gone to an eye hospital for treatment. The boy then attempted suicide.
“Neighbours and the landlord noticed the smoke coming from the house and barged in. They extinguished the fire and rushed Swami to Osmania General Hospital. However, he had sustained 70 per cent burns,” said Banjara Hills sub-inspector Vijay Kumar.
Srinu, who is a driver, said the boy was very depressed when he returned from school on Thursday. “When his mother asked him why he was sad, he said that the principal beat him up in front of other students for a petty reason. He did not want to go to school on Friday, but his mother convinced him,” Srinu said. “The principal may have harassed him again,” he said.
Though Swami’s parents have lodged a complaint, police is yet to book a case against the principal. “We have a complaint, however, we are checking the facts. We need to talk to Swami’s classmates,” Vijay Kumar said.
