Vadodara: The police on Tuesday arrested four persons for extorting money from a spa owner and her employees on Sama Savli Road.
The accused trio identified themselves as journalists and demanded Rs 2 lakh from Ritu Pandit, a resident of Makarpura, who works at the Feelings Spa. The fifth accused is yet to be arrested.
According to the police, the accused barged into the spa on last Friday and accused the owners of indulging in shady activities.
“They began yelling at the employees and said that they have to come to check the spa. The accused also showed their identity cards and then locked the spa from inside,” the police said.
