Pandit Ravi Shankar informed that Anoushka had given her laptop to a service centre in south Delhi in Feb 2009.
"We think that the material in the laptop was copied by someone. We interrogated the staff at the Apple Services Centre. Later, we zeroed in on the Mumbai-based man and arrested him," the police official said.
Apparently, the man sent a series of e-mails to 28-year-old Anoushka even demanding USD one lakh for not publicising the photographs.
