Mumbai: The Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) of Mumbai Police has arrested a 21-year-old man for allegedly trying to extort Rs 25 lakh from a businessman on behalf of gangster Ejaz Lakdawala. Sagar Satishkumar Yadav was arrested from suburban Bandra on Tuesday, a police official said.

He told police that he was attracted to the underworld and got in touch with Lakdawala’s brother Akeel seeking employment some months ago, the official said. A businessman based in the western suburbs was receiving extortion calls from the Lakdawala gang for the last few months, and some persons had opened fire on his partner.

In February, the AEC led by senior police inspector Sachin Kadam arrested Akeel Lakdawala. After Akeel’s arrest, Yadav allegedly started calling the businessman, seeking money, the official said.
