Don't fall for the extortion call. The crime branch arrested a man earlier this week, for allegedly trying to extort money from a Malad developer by posing as an officer of the Pune Crime Branch.

The report stated that he used to call up the powerful and wealthy, demanding money while posing as a senior police officer from the ATS, crime branch or NIA. In the latest case, he demanded R5 lakh from a victim for some 'crime', threatening him with police action.
