A 23-year-old man has been arrested by the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police for allegedly sending threatening text messages to Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit.
The accused sent four messages to the actor on November 25, threatening to kill her children if she did not pay him, say sources. He allegedly claimed that he was close to an underworld don.
The accused was traced and arrested after a complaint was registered by the actor's personal assistant with the cyber police cell, say sources.
The 23-year-old had allegedly stalked several other people from the film industry whose numbers were sourced through film directories.
The police are now investigating if the accused has any links to the underworld.
