Mumbai (Maharashtra): Mumbai's Crime Branch arrested a person from Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow for allegedly handling hawala money of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Saurabh Tripathi, an accused in the Angadia extortion case. The Crime Branch team reached Mumbai with the accused and will produce him before a court on Sunday. However, the police have not revealed the name of the arrested person.

DCP Tripathi used to send money received from angadias (courier) extortion racket to Uttar Pradesh through the hawala channel, Mumbai Police said. Angadia extortion case pertains to a complaint made by the Angadia association in December last year to a senior Mumbai Police officer that Saurabh Tripathi is threatening angadia operators and its employees with an Income Tax raid and extorted Rs 15-18 lakh from them.
