A 25-year-old man named Vishal, alias Katia, was arrested by Delhi police for allegedly demanding an extortion amount of Rs 13 crore from a 24-year-old YouTuber based in the city.
The complainant, who runs a YouTube channel, reported that starting April 9, he received multiple threatening calls from an unknown number while at Bawana’s Sector-1. Vishal allegedly threatened to kill the YouTuber if the demanded sum was not paid.
According to police, Vishal specifically referenced the YouTuber’s wife’s property inheritance, including her share of land worth crores, using this knowledge to intimidate the victim.
