Shiv Sena Leader and Others Booked for Alleged Extortion in Mumbai
Imagine a person who supplies sand and stones for building houses.
Some people, including a local politician and a journalist, allegedly told him he needed to pay them to keep transporting his supplies.
The politician's assistant said he needed to pay to transport materials.
Later, the politician threatened him over the phone.
The contractor ended up paying some money, but was then asked for even more.
One day, these people stopped his truck and refused to let it go unless he paid up.
The police have now filed a case, accusing them of taking money from the contractor.
An FIR was filed against Manish Nair, and others for allegedly extorting money from a contractor.
The contractor, Zubair Ansari, supplies construction materials.
Ansari was initially asked to repair a road but declined.
