Mumbai: The Dindoshi police have arrested two college students for extorting money from a Class 6 student by threatening to rag him. The accused extracted Rs 7000 from the victim over the last 15 days. Both the accused have been arrested and sent to juvenile custody. The incident came to light when the victim informed his grandfather about the miscreants, and approached the Dindoshi police with his parents. According to the police, the arrested accused had taken around Rs 7000 from him in two weeks and had demanded more money on Monday, after which the crime came to light.
The police informed that the victim used to bring money from his house and give them to the accused to escape their
bullying. The accused had threatened him that if he failed to bring the money, they would rag him and lock him up in the bathroom for the entire night. The police said that the victim had emptied his piggy bank and even took money from his parents and relatives in order to pay the accused.
