Upset 12-year-old Mumbai Girl Sends Threat E-mails to Parents Demanding Lakhs in Extortion Money
News 18The 12-year-old daughter of a well-placed banker, believing parents were not giving her enough attention, shot off emails to them demanding extortion money running into several lakhs along with threats to kill family members if the amount was not paid, police said on Tuesday. After the banker approached the Borivali police on July 21 to complain about the extortion-threat emails his wife was receiving, Crime Branch's Unit XI began the probe, an official said. Technical analysis of the email trail showed it had been sent from the banker's mobile phone, and, moreover, the IP address of all three extortion-threat emails were also the same, the official said. The minor girl also said her parents often scolded her, and she believed sending such threat emails would get her father and mother arrested, he added.
