New Delhi, June 29: The Special Cell of Delhi Police has arrested a businessman’s wife and an alleged associate of the Gogi gang for allegedly conspiring to extort ₹50 lakh from her husband by using gang members operating from abroad.
According to police, the victim, a wholesale businessman operating in Laxmi Nagar in East Delhi, received extortion calls and messages from an international phone number on June 14.
The caller allegedly identified himself as a member of the Gogi gang and demanded ₹50 lakh, threatening to kill the businessman and his family if the demand was not met.
