CHENNAI: Three men have been arrested for extorting money from a Mumbai woman escort after checking into a
Mamallapuram
hotel with her. A court later sent
Rajesh, 25,
Dheena, 39, and Viswanathan, 39, to jail.
Police said Rajesh found the woman on a website and asked her to come to Mamallapuram. As per the deal, she came to the shore town on Tuesday. At the hotel, she found Rajesh with his friends Dheena and Viswanathan and agreed to stay with them only if they paid double the promised money.
Later, when she was about to leave for Mumbai, Rajesh refused to pay the promised sum and with his friends snatched her cash and mobile before fleeing.
The woman complained to the Mamallapuram police who nabbed the three men with the help of
CCTV
camera footage.
Inquiries revealed that Rajesh was involved in two murder cases, while Dheena was involved in one murder case reported in 2014 and both were also involved in burglary and theft cases. Police seized two knives and two motorcycles from them.
