Meanwhile, in an another incident last week, the officers of the Mumbai Crime Branch Unit IX arrested a ‘fake cop’, who along with his five associates, had kidnapped and extorted money from a 26-year-old after threatening to book him for drug consumption. The suspect was arrested on Monday and the officers have identified his associates.
The incident took place on June 30. The complainant was at a bar with a female friend when a group of four men claiming to be police officers approached the victim and asked him to come along. One of the men told the victim that they had found he consumed drugs. He got frightened and accompanied the men in an auto-rickshaw.
The men allegedly told him to shell out Rs 50 lakh or face “legal action”. According to the police, the six men took Savla for a drive around the city. He managed to pay them Rs 5.6 lakh via NEFT and Google Pay. The men also accompanied the victim to his residence to get a cheque but the money was not encashed due to technical reasons.
On July 10, the victim decided to approach the police and an FIR was registered at Versova police station. Following the complaint, the crime branch swung into action and made the arrests in the case.
