Extortion bid by fake NCB officers, actor ends life; two arrested
Two men were arrested by the Amboli police on Saturday for allegedly posing as Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officers and demanding Rs 20 lakh from an actor after they “caught” her and her friends during a raid at a rave party in Santacruz (West) hotel.
The police said the 28-year-old actor, who used to work in Bhojpuri movies and stayed on rent at Jogeshwari (West), died by suicide at her residence on December 23 as she was threatened by the accused. Following the woman’s death, her friend narrated her ordeal to the police.
