While some of his friends suggested he ignore the message one friend sent him an expletive filled voice note. 

The accused then asked for his friend’s father's contact number as he had a “discount” for him and revealed that he wanted to buy a car - Ford Endeavor and thus reduced the extortion price to Rs 40-50 lakhs. Elvish who was then in London returned to India and filed an official police complaint.
