BHUBANESWAR: The Commissionerate Police on Wednesday arrested Deepak Dwivedi who was the mastermind behind the extortion call to Dr Satya Ranjan Samal, a dental surgeon of a private hospital in the city, demanding Rs 10 lakh in the name of gangsters.

Samal, a resident of Mahanadi Vihar in Cuttack, said some people called him over phone demanding Rs 10 lakh and threatening that if he failed to pay the money, they would abduct and kill him. This had left the doctor and his family in a state of horror that’s why he had urged the police to give protection to his family.
