A cafe owner, who allegedly ran various illegal businesses, was arrested on Saturday on charges of extortion by the Malwani police. According to police sources, the accused, Baba Khan, used to arrive around in a BMW to collect weekly bribes from hawkers and pavement vendors near his establishment.
If a person refused to pay up, Khan’s henchmen would beat them up and threaten to shoot them in the head. He would allegedly forcibly take money from people’s pockets and if he visited shops or stalls, he would physically remove money from their cash boxes. Paralysed by fear, no one had complained until now.
