Extortion in Bollywood isn’t a new business. It was there earlier and is still rampant now. Gulshan Kumar was killed because he didn’t part with his money. Those on the top extract their pound of flesh and assure the man that he will not be troubled by any other gang and they will completely take care of him. If you refuse to pay, your career will end like Shiny Ahuja’; will be trapped or fixed in some case or the other and you’ll have to languish in jail. This happens to many business persons who are doing extremely well in their field.
There could be hacking too of websites. Recently actor Pooja Bedi in a complaint to the Goa Police Cyber Cell said that her business website happysoul.in was targeted by hackers, who were now demanding “ransom” in order to restore access to her e-commerce site. Bedi, who resides in Goa and whose website trades in organic supplements, also took to Twitter with her woe, tagging Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Director General of Police (DGP) Mukesh Kumar Meena, saying the hackers have threatened to sell drugs and narcotics substances on her website if the ransom is not paid. This should be taken seriously and Ms Bedi should be given help. “Dear @DGP_Goa my eCommerce website http://happysoul.in HACKED AGAIN last night & this time they state if i don`t pay ransom they will sell DRUGS on my website. I have registered (an) FIR in Old Goa Police Cyber Cell last week but no action from Cops. My company regd in Goa @goacm,” the actress said in a tweet.
