The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating allegations of extortion in connection with the redevelopment of a property in Prabhadevi. Two men, Raghavendra Kolgi and Santosh Gupta, are accused of demanding ₹1.3 crore from Tijarat Ali Jumman Khan, a legal manager at Rational Arts of Press Pvt. Ltd., a real estate and construction company.
Khan has been employed by the company for 20 years. The redevelopment project saw work halted after Kolgi filed a complaint with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in March 2026, alleging irregularities in the documents submitted for the change of user/change of zone. Following the halt, Kolgi allegedly approached the project site, seeking contact to restart the work.
He demanded an extortion of ₹2 crore, claiming he needed funds to contest an upcoming election and threatened to cancel redevelopment permissions and disrupt the project. Khan alleged that Gupta later reduced his demand to ₹30 lakh, claiming the company's redevelopment permissions were based on bogus documents.
