A 25-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly demanding an extortion of Rs 13 crore from a Delhi-based YouTuber, police said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old complainant, who runs a YouTube channel, told police that on April 9 he received multiple calls from an unknown number while he was in Bawana’s Sector-1, a senior police officer said.<\/p>\n
The caller, later identified as Vishal alias Katia, allegedly threatened to kill him if the extortion demand was not met, the YouTuber claimed in his complaint.<\/p>\n
The police said the accused claimed to know about a property inheritance received by the YouTuber’s wife, and specifically mentioned her share of land, allegedly worth several crores.<\/p>\n
In the fifth call, the caller became aggressive and threatened the complainant with dire consequences if he did not pay Rs 13 crore, they said.<\/p>\n
Following this, a case was registered at Bawana Police Station and Vishal was traced and apprehended near Nirmal Vatika in Bawana within 24 hours, the officer said.<\/p>\n
Vishal, a resident of Bawana, was previously involved in one criminal case, he said, adding that the mobile phone used to make the extortion calls was recovered from his possession.<\/p>\n
