It doesn’t get stranger than this. When Aryan Allimuddin Sheikh alias Aftab Salim Sheikh, a chain snatcher, called up Dipesh Mehta, actor Salman Khan’s lawyer, demanding a sum of Rs 2 crore, he never imagined that he would not only be sweet talked into reducing the amount to Rs 2 lakh but also be promptly arrested by the cops. The crime branch unit 9 of Mumbai police nabbed Sheikh on Saturday afternoon after he came to collect the money near Mehboob Studios in Bandra.
