Patna, Feb 8 Patna Police arrested two men on Thursday for threatening a city-based prominent orthopedic surgeon and trying to extort money from him.

Bharat Soni, the City SP (East) of Patna confirmed the case. He said that the accused had called Dr Anand Singh, who runs a hospital in Kankarbagh locality.

Following that extortion call, the victim reached the Kankarbagh police station and registered an FIR against the accused.
