Two Women Arrested for Extorting Rs 1.5 Crore
Two women were arrested in Mumbai for trying to get money from a real estate developer.
They met the developer's son at a party and had a disagreement.
Later, they threatened to make up a false story about the son unless the developer paid them a lot of money.
The women asked for Rs 5.5 crore, and the developer agreed to pay Rs 1.5 crore first.
But when the women were about to receive the money, the police caught them.
The police are still investigating the case and looking for a third person involved.
Two women, including an artist, were arrested in Mumbai for extorting Rs 1.5 crore from a real estate developer.
The women met the developer's son at a party on November 14, where a dispute arose involving allegations of flashing a laser light.
They threatened to implicate the developer's son in a false case unless he paid them Rs 10 crore, later reduced to Rs 5.5 crore.
The women were arrested by the Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) while accepting the first installment of Rs 1.5 crore.
The developer had informed the AEC and the Mumbai police’s Crime Branch about the extortion demand, leading to a trap being set.
