According to the original case history, Tele Serial actress Priyanka had tried to blackmail Kaveri, cine actress from Thiruvalla, threatening her that a `defamatory' story on the latter's family would be published in a Malayalam periodical 'Crime' unless she agreed to give Rs. 5 lakhs to her.

As directed by the police, Kaveri's mother held talks with Priyanka on Feburay 8 to February 10, of 2004 and `settled' the `extortion amount’ at Rs. 3 lakhs. They agreed to hand over an `advance' of Rs. 1 lakh to Priyanka in a specific spot on the National Highway in Alappuzha.
Both parties met at the decided place and Ms. Priyanka was caught red-handed during the transaction.Ms. Priyanka was then arrested from Alappuzha for allegedly trying to blackmail the cine actress Kaveri.
Magistrate C V Cheriyan has ordered a reinvestigation on the case, following a request from Kaveri and her mother Padmakumari, who complained that satisfactory follow ups on investigation of the case is still pending.
