MUMBAI: A 38-year-old man was arrested by the Kasturba Marg police for allegedly blackmailing his friend's wife for cash and sex.

According to the police, the 36-year-old woman was married for the past four years. Her lover also worked with her at the bank.
"Rathod met the woman, told her that he had photographs of both of them together and asked her for sexual favours and Rs 20,000 in cash to keep silent about her affair. The woman gave Rs 5,000 in cash but he wanted the balance soon. He also harassed her when she refused to comply with his demands for sex. Fed up, she decided to file a complaint against Rathod," a police official said.
On Wednesday, the police laid a trap at the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and asked the woman to summon Rathod to collect the balance amount.
"We arrested Rathod when he accepted money from the woman. He has been booked on charges of extortion and will be produced before a metropolitan court on Thursday," said an official . The police have seized Rathod's cellphone and sent it for analysis.
