In 1998, he was in a relationship with a woman, whom he did not marry, and lived with her in Bandra until 2001. During this time, they had three children together, one of whom is the accused. Following their separation, he continued providing her with monthly financial support.
In 2015, his former partner requested R5 lakh as a final settlement and he agreed on the condition that she would take full responsibility for their children’s upbringing. He paid the amount with mutual consent, after which she moved away with the children and ceased all contact with him.
“On March 7, the accused approached his house and demanded R10 lakh. When the complainant refused, the accused allegedly threatened to defame him by posting certain photos on a local YouTube channel and social media. In the last few days, the pressure increased, prompting the complainant to approach the police,” said an officer from Dongri police station.
“Following the complaint, we have registered under Section 308(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita—which deals with extortion, specifically punishing those who, to commit extortion, put someone in fear or attempts to do so—against the son of the complainant and have launched an investigation. However, no arrests have been made so far,” the officer added.
