Don't take threat to us jewellers lightly: Vakola police

Mumbai | Wednesday | 20th March, 2019

Summary:

Virendra Jain from Prakash Jewellers, Mahesh Kothari from Mahesh Jewellers and Vinod Sethiya from Mayur Jewellers have accused the Vakola police of not taking the case seriously. Three jewellers from Kalina who received menacing extortion letters demanding Rs 3 lakh from each of them feel the police are making light of the "threat" to their lives. We suspect the Abdullah Khan murder is being used to scare the jewellers for extortion. Now I am asking for Rs 3 lakh from each one of you and if you don't comply, you will be the next target. According to their statements, a man with his face covered with a hanky dropped the letters outside their shuttered shops..
