Mandeep Singh Sachdeva was asked to pay Rs 50,000. The caller also issued death threats if the money was not handed over.
As a result, Mandeep Singh Sachdev accepted to give the extortion money, however, in the meantime, he also informed the Police regarding this. Hence, a CIA staff laid a trap and sat in civil dress near the Advocate.
