Mumbai crime: The LT Marg police in south Mumbai arrested two individuals who allegedly posed as Mumbai Police officials and extorted money, claiming it was fines for alleged violations of the law.
According to the police, the incident came to light on October 20 when Jitendra Jain (28) stopped near a hotel situated on Shamaldas Gandhi Marg to smoke a cigarette. Two alleged impostors arrived on a motorcycle and informed Jain that smoking cigarettes in that area was prohibited. Subsequently, they demanded a Rs. 2000 fine from Jain, who complied. However, the accused failed to provide a receipt and quickly fled the scene.
