Mumbai's special MCOCA court has charged gangster Ravi Pujari with allegedly demanding Rs 10 crore from former Radheshyam Laxmanrao Mopalwar, according to the prosecution. This comes after the same court acquitted three individuals in the case in 2023, questioning the prosecution's allegations against Pujari. The special MCOCA court acquitted private detective Satish Mangle, his wife Shraddha Mangle, and Atul Tambe in April 2023, following a complaint from Mopalwar.
Mopalwar hired Mangle to gather evidence against his wife during their divorce proceedings. In the charges against Pujari, the prosecution alleged that he, along with Anil Vedmehta and the acquitted accused, threatened Mopalwar and his daughter, demanding Rs 10 crore, which later reduced to Rs 7 crore. The prosecution also claimed that Pujari asked Mopalwar to give a partial payment of Rs 1 crore to Mangle.
