Woman Who Accused Maharashtra Minister Of Harassment Arrested For Extortion

The woman, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was arrested from Maharashtra's Satara, news agency PTI reported, quoting an official.

“She had demanded ₹3 crore to end everything. She was caught red-handed accepting ₹1 crore of the total amount. Police are questioning the woman,” the official said.

Allegations were made in 2017 that Maharashtra minister Gore harassed a woman and sent her objectionable photos, a charge vehemently denied by the BJP leader asserting that he was acquitted by a court in the case long ago.
