Two Arrested for Alleged Extortion of Rs 26,000 in Delhi Cafe Blind Date Case
Two men, including a cafe owner in Delhi's Hudson Lane, were arrested for allegedly extorting around Rs 26,000 from a man lured on a blind date arranged via a dating app. The victim was taken to the cafe, where a large bill was presented, and he was pressured to pay under threat and prevented from leaving. After contacting his father, the payment was made online through QR codes. The woman who invited him became untraceable, and police registered a case and initiated an investigation.
