What exactly happened ? The Fake Cops arrested!
Sion police have apprehended 6 individuals, including one active and one retired cop, for robbing a hotelier in Matunga of 25 lakhs. They stormed into his home in Sion, alleging he had stashed cash for the Lok Sabha elections, while conducting this fake raid. There, they extorted 25 lakhs to avoid reporting the incident and promptly fled. The hotelier later realized the robbery and reported it to the Sion police station. Surprisingly, the mastermind behind the scheme was the former manager of the hotel, who was familiar with the hotel’s operations. Their plan backfired as they used a police jeep to reach the hotelier’s home, convincing him they were genuine cops.
