Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): One of the accused involved in loot from a cab driver in Misrod on Sunday, had allegedly extorted Rs 3 lakh from a medical student after raping her two years ago. He was arrested with his associate on Friday by the Misrod police.

The accused Roshan Khatarkar was booked by Piplani police in July this year for rape and extortion.
