ALAPPUZHA: Gang arrested for extorting money from youth who sent obscene messages after watching reels. Jasli from Alappuzha, Abhijit from Aluva and Salman from Nilambur were arrested. Twenty lakh rupees were demanded from a man from Muvatupuzha. The gang demanded more money after the man paid Rs 2 lakh.

The youth sent the obscene message after watching a reel shared by Jasli on social media. Jasli had filed a complaint with the police pointing this out. Since it was not possible to file a case voluntarily, the police submitted a report in this regard to the court.

Jasli approached the man demanding Rs 20 lakh to withdraw the case in the meantime. The woman and her group had threatened the man's family too. With this, the man agreed to pay five lakh rupees. First, two lakh rupees were transferred to Abhijit's account. The police got information about this while he was preparing to pay another three lakhs. The police arrested Jasli and her group later during the investigation.
