A person, who allegedly threatened Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, was today arrested by a team of Delhi Police at Ankali in Maharashtra's Sangli district, police said.

The Delhi Police team was assisted by local police, they said.

Rajeshkumar Dharamsingh Dalal was wanted in crimes like bank robbery, abduction, extortion and firing on police personnel, police said.

A Chinese-made revolver was also seized from him, they said.

Dalal, who hails from Rajasthan, had threatened to kill Sherawat as she had passed some derogatory remarks against the community to which he belongs.
