A yoga instructor has found himself embroiled in a scandalous extortion case, leading to his recent arrest by the Delhi Police. The alleged blackmailer, identified as Rakesh Sharma, was taken into custody following days on the run after being accused of threatening a woman over private videos.

Authorities revealed that Sharma allegedly extorted Rs 3 lakh from the victim, promising to destroy objectionable videos. However, he resurfaced in March, demanding an additional Rs 15 lakh and escalating the situation by sending the videos to the victim's husband.

After an informed tip-off, police arrested Sharma outside Patiala House Courts Complex, uncovering his sinister plan to leverage the videos for financial gain once more. His history of criminal activity, including a previous murder charge, continues to unravel as investigations progress.
