It was only because of a Mulund-based vegetable vendor, that the Kandivli police managed to arrest two accused in an extortion case of Rs 5 crore. The cops have been on the lookout for them for the past two months, but on Tuesday when they called the victim, who runs an ice-cream factory, from the phone of the vendor, the cops tracked them down.
It all started in May when one day the accused, M Bhanusali and S Yadav, reached the victim's doorstep with a parcel. On receiving the box, when the victim opened it, he was shocked to find one live cartridge and a note mentioning a demand of Rs 5 crore. The accused had also threatened to shoot him. He immediately filed a complaint in the matter.
