Cousin of Luv Ka The End hero held for blackmailing actor with sex video
The cousin of an upcoming actor was arrested last week for demanding Rs 1 crore to delete an intimate video clip of the actor and his girlfriend.
Taaha Shah — who faced the extortion threats — has featured in films like Gippi (2013), Luv Ka The End (2011).
His cousin Joshua Matthews got his hands on a video clip Taaha had shot with his girlfriend, who also happens to be an actor.
Joshua started blacking Taaha, and demanded Rs 17 lakh for not making the video go viral. However, Taaha informed his mother and asked her to intervene and settle the issue with her nephew.
But Joshua got furious and started demanding Rs 1 crore from the actor and his mother.
The actor’s mother informed her brother about his son’s nefarious activities. The father, in return, opted to teach Joshua a lesson and approached the police.
After recording the statements of Taaha and his mother and Joshua’s father – who was the main complainant – the Versova police officials nabbed Joshua.
