💨 Abstract

Four individuals were arrested in Thane, Maharashtra for attempting to extort INR 50 lakh from a former councillor by blackmailing him with an objectionable photograph. The victim, a former Kulgaon Badlapur Municipal Council councillor, received the photograph and was demanded the ransom to prevent its online sharing. The police arrested one suspect last month and three more associates based on his interrogation.
