Bihar: In a bid to scare their targets, a gang of extortionists in Bihar's Darbhanga region invented a new way to demand ransom from a school teacher by sending a selfie of their members armed with rifles on Whatsapp, according to a report in India Today.

The incident was reported by Shyam Kumar Rai, a resident of Navtolia village who received a threat call from a gangster demanding Rs 5 lakh ransom. To scare Rai even further, Gangster Naveen Singh sent him a few selfies carrying guns, armed with rifles and bombs.

Scared for his life, Rai filed an FIR with the nearest police station. Upon receiving his complaint, police formed a special team who then tracked Naveen's mobile phone and nabbed him while he was trying to flee Navtolia.

Naveen has been wanted in several cases and has been detained.
