According to police sources, the incident happened at around 11.15 pm yesterday, when Sardar was on his way home, in Jai Bharat Mata Nagar area of Chunabhatti, Sion.

At knifepoint, they threatened Sardar and his friend to pay R1 lakh ‘if they want to live in this city peacefully’."
In his statement, Sardar said, "Three men asked for 'protection money'. One of them, claiming to be a history-sheeter, said, ‘If you fail to pay the money, we will not let you live in Mumbai’. Then they snatched my Samsung J7 phone and left."
A Wadala TT police station official said, “We have filed an FIR against three unidentified men and booked them under relevant sections for threatening and attempting extortion.”
