This case pertains to January 2020. A woman was arrested for allegedly extorting money from a Human Resource manager of a Pune-based company by threatening to file a false rape case against him. As per a media report, the Crime Branch of the Pune police arrested the woman in extortion case.
According to the police, the woman asked the HR professional to pay her Rs 7 lakh, failing which she would register a false rape case against him. The woman had already taken Rs 45,000 as the first instalment. However, the matter came to light after the HR professional didn’t pay Rs 6.5 lakh as demanded by the accused.
To get the remaining ransom, she called him at Kharadi bypass Pune. Police city anti-extortion cell inspector Rajendra Mohite, sub-inspector Nilesh Kumar Mahadik, constable Chikale, Kadam, P.N.Kokare, and a team of narcotics control bureau trapped her and caught red-handed. They confiscated two mobile phones and cash worth Rs 13,860.
