A head of an ashram here has alleged that she has received an extortion demand of Rs 1 crore, police said today.
On the complaint of Mahashakti Pith ashram chief Sadhvi Yogniman Rajaneshvari, a case was registered yesterday at Bhopa police station, Superintendent of Police (SP), Rural, Ajay Sahdev, said.
The complainant said she has received a letter in which the sender demanded Rs 1 crore and threatened to kill her if she failed to pay the amount, he said.
