The Mumbai police on Monday arrested a 47-year-old repeat offender for allegedly threatening a businessman, who was recuperating at a hospital, and attempting to extort money from him.
The anti-extortion cell (AEC) of the Mumbai crime branch arrested the accused based on a complaint lodged by businessman Sudhakar Shetty, an official from Bandra police said.
The accused had recently come out on parole in an extortion case registered against him at Sion police station, he said.
