Two Arrested for Alleged Extortion of Rs 26,000 at Delhi Cafe via Dating App
Two men, including a cafe owner in Delhi's Hudson Lane, were arrested for allegedly extorting around Rs 26,000 from a man lured via a dating app under the pretext of a blind date. The woman involved reportedly ordered food and drinks, then pressured the man to pay a handwritten bill and prevented him from leaving until payment was made. The complainant's father transferred the money online after initial payment attempts failed. Police have registered a case and are investigating the woman's whereabouts and possible accomplices.
