Story here. Excerpt:

'A 19-year-old BSc student of Maharani's College was arrested by Galta Gate police for allegedly blackmailing a 47-year-old Gurgaon businessman after threatening to lodge a rape case against him. Police also recovered Rs 27 lakh* from the teen, given to her by the businessman following the blackmail.

The girl allegedly was not happy with the Rs 27 lakh given to her and demanded a further Rs 18 lakh or his SUV from the victim.
