Acting on a mid-day report about a group of men who posed as officers of the Narcotics Control Bureau and harassed actor Kruttika Desai, the police have arrested two persons. Cops said the two and their accomplice, who is on the run, would extort artists coming out of Goregaon Film City after demanding to search them for drugs. The police took the help of a video recorded by the actor to track down the accused.

The Dindoshi police said Mira Road resident Shankar Pandhidhar, 27, and Pawan Vishwakarma of Mira Road and a third person had waylaid Desai last month on the Film City Road in the forested Aarey Milk Colony at Goregaon East. They demanded to search her car after identifying themselves as NCB officer. The gutsy actor recorded a video of the trio and escaped from the spot.
