Barely 12 hours after filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt registered a complaint of extortion and death threats to his family, the Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh police swung into action, detaining a man named Sandeep Sahu, a Bollywood aspirant. Bhatt had approached the Mumbai police's anti-extortion cell last night, after he received calls from an unknown person demanding Rs 50 lakh as extortion money.
