The Vanrai police have arrested a 30-year-old man on charges of extorting Rs 1 lakh cash and approximately 2.5 tolas of gold from a 16-year-old mentally challenged boy. The extortion was allegedly carried out after threatening to make viral a video call clip showing the boy naked with a woman.

According to the police, the boy is a special child diagnosed with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He lives with his parents who are doctors working in various departments of a government hospital in the city.
