Laketown Police have apprehended two suspects on charges of attempting to extort money at gunpoint. Acting on a complaint lodged by a local promoter, the police swiftly arrested the accused, identified as Arvind Prasad and Sunny Mallick. Both men are alleged to have threatened the promoter, demanding lakhs of rupees under threat of violence.

According to police sources, the promoter approached Laketown Police Station, reporting that the two men had been pressuring him for a large sum of money.
