Rajkot: Three persons including a woman were arrested on Friday for allegedly extorting Rs 20,000 from a realtor by threatening to frame him in a false rape case in Pushpa Park locality of Jamnagar on Wednesday night.
The main accused Ankita Maru (24) befriended Sahil Baloch over phone. She said she wanted to buy a property and invited Baloch to her house in Pushpa Park on Wednesday night.
“When Baloch reached Maru’s home, she raised a cry and accused Baloch of rape attempt and molestation.
