End to the trouble

A 23-year-old man, who allegedly sent threat messages to Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit on her mobile phone in a bid to extort money, has landed in the police net. Praveenkumar Pradhan, a waiter by profession who threatened to kill the popular actress’ children and claimed to have links with the underworld, was arrested on Wednesday. The mobile phone he used to send offensive messages has also been recovered.
