The police also made public the extortionists, who were in possession of two US-made pistols, 12 rounds of cartridges, five sets mobile phone, ID cards belonging to Kirant Janaba- di Workers' Party, the party's literatures, donation and letter pads and anaesthetic spray, among others.
Of those arrested, Agam Sher Rai denied extortion charges in the guise of Black Spider, but said they were operating as per the `in- struction' of the party.
SSP Rana Bahadur Chand, in-charge, Metro- politan Police Crime Divi- sion, Hanumandhoka, said the five had repeatedly is- sued death threats against Lama over the past month for refusing to pay the amount demanded of him.
"A special squad dis- patched from MPCD cor- doned off the area and swooped on the gangsters following a tip-off on Tues- day afternoon," Chand told a press meet.
The arrested have also been accused of extorting businessmen and well-off families, issuing threats for life and abduction for hefty ransom and posing threats to law and order. They are undergoing trial under Arms and Ammunition Act and Donation Act.
