PUNE: A woman who had accused Maharashtra minister Jaykumar Gore of harassment has been arrested for allegedly trying to extort ₹3 crore to settle the matter, police said on Friday.

Gore, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader who represents the Man assembly constituency in western Maharashtra's Satara district, is the minister of rural development and panchayati raj.

The local crime branch has arrested the woman, whose identity was not disclosed, from a lawyer's office in Satara on Friday, an official said.

"She had demanded ₹3 crore to end the case related to her allegations against Jaykumar Gore.

She was caught red-handed while accepting ₹1 crore of the total amount. Police are questioning her," the official said, adding that the accused had allegedly threatened to file a rape case against Gore if he failed to comply.
