Sapphire Investment Solutions (SIS), an investment firm fraud scam

After SpeakAsia, another investment scam unearthed


After the city police unearthed the alleged multi-crore fraud case involving investment firm SpeakAsia, many more such companies are now coming under the scanner of the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). EOW officials on Thursday arrested a science graduate for allegedly running a dubious money doubling scheme. The accused has allegedly cheated several people of crores of rupees.
The accused has been identified as Rajesh Rambali Singh, 28, a resident of Sanjan village near Valsad in Gujarat. Singh was picked up from his rental accommodation in Mumbai Central.
EOW sources said that Singh had set up Sapphire Investment Solutions (SIS), an investment firm with an office at Laxmi Industrial Estate in Andheri (W), in 2010. Singh used to conduct seminars in Mumbai and Thane to sell the scheme.
"Singh used to promise a monthly return of 16% on an investment of Rs1 lakh. He used to lure prospective investors by explaining to them how he would do that: Reinvest that amount in stock and commodity markets from where the total return would be 20%. Out of that 20% return, the investor would get 16% (Rs16,000) and the remaining 4% would be his company's administrative fees. Rs16,000 every month from an investment of Rs1 lakh was quite an allurement," said an EOW officer, explaining Singh's modus operandi.
He added that once few people invested their money, Singh initially made genuine payments to the investors to gain their trust.
The police attributed the success of having unearthed this case to the SpeakAsia investigations. "After the SpeakAsia case was unearthed, people were suspicious about investing their money in such schemes. This resulted in less inflow of money into Singh's business, after which he started defaulting in making payments and his post-dated cheques started bouncing. Disgruntled investors approached the police and lodged a complaint against Singh," said the officer.
"We have Singh in police custody and are investigating his bank balance and property details and if more persons are involved along with him in this business. We suspect this to be a multi-crore fraud," the officer said.

SpeakAsia investors pocketed Rs.1,052 cr Police sure that they are hand in glove with the company officials in carrying out the operations

SpeakAsia investors pocketed Rs.1,052 cr

Police sure that they are hand in glove with the company officials in carrying out the operations
A total of Rs1,052 crore is believed to have been usurped by top panellists or members of SpeakAsia, said police sources.
This was learnt during investigations into the multi-crore fraud in the multi-level marketing company.
SpeakAsia, an online survey company, has collected crores of rupees from users by promising huge payments for filling its survey, said the police sources.
"Investigations have revealed that Rs1,052 crore has been pocketed by the company's top panellists. They can also be booked under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act," said an Economic Offences Wing (EOW) officer.
"The bank accounts of some of the panellists showed balance of crores of rupees. We are getting more details about such panellists as we are sure they are hand in glove with the company officials in carrying out the operations," he added.
According to sources in the EOW, after the alleged fraud came into light, the police had gone through the company's data in the computer and came across some startling facts.
The data showed that in 2010, there were only 42 members but by 2011, each month there was an increase of one lakh members.
"Once a member joins up and pays a fee of Rs11,000, SpeakAsia allows them to respond to market research which clients want conducted. Members also earn reward points that can be encashed for giving opinions on product and other promotional strategies," said Himanshu Roy, joint commissioner of police, crime.
The investigations have revealed that there were 35,60,00 panellists in Maharashtra, excluding 13,00,00 from Mumbai.
The highest numbers of panellists were from Uttar Pradesh, with 77,00,00 people investing their money in the company. Even people from far off places such as Lakshadweep, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Pondicherry and Sikkim were allegedly conned, the police said.
Another startling revelation that came into light was that SpeakAsia had allegedly created PIN for non-existent members.
"It has been learnt that 850 panellists were non-existent and their PIN or membership ID was generated by SpeakAsia itself. This was to gain confidence of people and lure them in investing into the company," said the officer.
"We have sent a Letter of Rogatory (letter seeking details about an accused) to the Singapore government through diplomatic channels and details of properties and bank accounts of Harinder Kaur, the mastermind behind the whole fraud has been sought," said additional commissioner of police, EOW, Rajvardhan.

Applying for driving licence? Agent a must for smooth ride

Applying for driving licence? Agent a must for smooth ride

Correspondents relate their nightmarish experience at the Andheri RTO



You may be a staunch supporter of Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement, but to get any job done at any of the Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in Mumbai, you will have to see an agent. Two DNA correspondents saw for themselves the complete mess city's RTOs are in.

Be it getting a duplicate licence or learner's licence, the Andheri RTO has only one option: Catch hold of an agent and just sit in a corner. At any given point of time, there are more agents hovering around the RTO than those who need a licence. Also, there is not a single board instructing which form is needed for what and from which window can it be obtained.
When the correspondents decided to track the working of an RTO without taking any agent's help and obviously without revealing they were journalists, the experience was shocking. Andheri RTO was selected as a test case, with one of the two journalists needing a duplicate licence (a smart card) and another needing a learner's licence.
The nightmare began from the first step itself. The employee distributing the forms herself did not have an idea which form should be given. No proper space or a shaded area on the premises was provided where applicants could sit and fill the forms. And worse, basic items, such as glue and stapler needed for clipping documents and sticking photographs, were not available.
There was no mention of any checklist, which would have helped applicants know which documents need to be attached while submitting their licence applications.
While our correspondents waited mindlessly in queues, and changed from one to another, a number of seasoned people were easily jumping the queues and getting their job done. Needless to say they were all touts.

With at least 25 to 30 forms in hand, they were often seen disturbing the officials, who were letting them get their work done faster than others.
The correspondents also found that there were no facilities for handicapped people and women. There was a separate queue for women outside the window accepting applications for learner's licence, but none of the women standing in the general queue were aware of it or informed by officials.
Handicapped applicants were also standing in the same queue.

The state government is planning to introduce a Victim Compensation Scheme (VCS), where victims of serious offences will be compensated by the government.

Financial help scheme for crime victims on anvil


The state government is planning to introduce a Victim Compensation Scheme (VCS), where victims of serious offences will be compensated by the government.
Home department sources revealed that they had come across several instances, where families of those whom were either killed, injured or made disabled by the criminal elements had come under severe financial crisis. Under Section 357 (a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), compensation should be provided to the victim.
"The government has decided to soon introduce and implement VCS. Victims of murder, violence and or those made disabled after injuring their eye or limbs will be compensated through this scheme. Also, legal heirs of the victims will be provided for," stated a home department official, requesting anonymity.
The state has made few eligibility criteria to ensure that the scheme is not exploited. "The victim should not have any criminal background and only those who have under Rs2 lakh annual income will be eligible. The victim has to get a certificate from the medical officers about their injuries or disablement," the official said.
Sources disclosed that dependents of murder victims could be given Rs1 lakh and assault and victims of disability due to the violence will be given Rs50,000 under this scheme. "We are waiting for an approval from the Finance Department. The scheme will be tailor-made as per the availability of the funds and will be applicable across the state," said the official.

Courier cooks up robbery story, pockets Rs. 11L, held

An imitation jewellery firm employee tried to outsmart his boss and the police by claiming that three unidentified men had stolen the Rs11 lakh he was to deliver to his Malad office.
But, the LT Marg police did not buy his story and arrested him for pocketing the money.
Pappu Patel, 33, a resident of Unnat Nagar in Goregaon, had been employed with Trend Fashion Jewellery, owned by Sanjay Jain, for the last seven years. Jain trusted Patel and would often give him the responsibility of dealing with the monetary transactions.
"On September 17, Jain wanted to send money to Rajkot in Gujarat. He asked Patel to get Rs11 lakh from an angadia (courier) firm in Bhuleshwar and bring it to the Malad office," said a police officer from LT Marg police station.
Minutes after Patel collected the money from the firm, he called Jain and told him that three unidentified men had accosted him in Bhuleshwar, assaulted him and snatched his bag containing the cash.
On the behest of his employer, Patel later lodged a complaint with the LT Marg police.
"We went to the spot where the alleged robbery had taken place and enquired with the hawkers and shopkeepers. But, they told us that no incident of robbery had taken place there on September 17, as claimed by Patel," said police sub-inspector Laxmikant Salunkhe.
"Moreover, the hawkers said that Bhuleshwar is a busy market area and any commotion would have drawn everyone's attention. This raised a doubt and we then grilled Patel," added Salunkhe.
Patel reportedly confessed of having concocted the story of being robbed and admitted that he had pocketed the money.
"He revealed that he had kept the Rs11 lakh at his uncle Chotelal Jaiswar's residence in Goregaon. We arrested Patel and Jaiswar and have also recovered the money from them. They have been remanded in police custody until September 27," said Salunkhe.

6th car of bizman gone

6th car of bizman gone


Little did Abhishek Vaid know that he would never again lay eyes on his Skoda after he dropped of his car for servicing at Oshiwara's Lotus petrol pump on Sunday.
Vaid, who is a studio owner, even paid Rs 3,000 at the pump and informed the workers at the petrol pump that he would return in the evening to pick up his car. By Sunday, he discovered that his car was stolen by someone who had pretended to be his driver. This is the sixth car that Vaid's has reported stolen in the last few years.
The police official from Oshiwara Police Station who is probing the car theft revealed that the accused, who pretended to be a driver, was aware of all the problems for which the vehicle was handed to the service station in Adarsh Nagar in Oshiwara.
This detail made the police suspect that the crime was the handiwork of an insider.
The video of the theft has been captured on a Closed-Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV) and is now being shown to the complainant for identification.
"The accused, who seems to be in his mid-twenties, was seen loitering around Lotus petrol pump and the car for a long time that evening. What seems to be really astonishing is the fact that he knew all the defects of the car in great detail," said Kishore Mastakar, the fuel station owner.
A police officer said that the usual suspects will be questioned along with all the drivers who were employed by the victim.
Incidentally, a few weeks ago, three criminals were arrested near the petrol pump where they had allegedly met to conduct a robbery.
However, Mastakar claims that the police report indicated that the arrest had been made not far from his petrol pump. "Our name was mentioned as the petrol pump is a landmark. Unfortunately, such things bring a bad name to my petrol pump," he lamented.

Victim's pen nailed him

Victim's pen nailed him


The red gel pen used by 67-year-old Saroj Patel to write Gayatri mantra on her notebook proved a vital clue to detect the case.
The senior citizen was killed on Friday when she was alone in her Malad house. When Saroj's grandson was called in for the questioning, the police saw injury marks of the pen on his forearm and chest.
During interrogation, the 17-year-old broke down and confessed to the murder.
On Friday, Saroj opened the door and let in her grandson and his friend. She gave them water and then went to the bedroom and was writing Gayatri mantra on her notepad when the two attacked her.
According to crime branch sources, Saroj used to write Gayatri mantra with a red gel pen. Saroj's grandson was questioned for an hour. "We saw injury marks on his left forearm and chest. The injury on the chest was deep and red ink was visible on the wounds. After sustained grilling, when we asked him about the injuries, he confessed to the crime," said a crime branch officer, requesting anonymity.
The grandson had cooked up a story to get money from Saroj. "He told us that he had asked Saroj for money. He had cooked up a story about a drug dealer demanding Rs3 lakh but Saroj told him that he should tell his father about this," said an investigator.
The police are making a watertight case against the two minors. "We have identified the two shops from where the two had purchased surgical gloves for Rs40 and nylon rope for Rs10. We have also identified the shop where they have sold some of the stolen jewellery. We will record statements of all three shopkeepers," said a crime branch officer.
The gloves and rope are yet to be recovered. The crime branch has handed over the case to the Malad police. "The two claim that they are guilty and blamed their passion for money to drive them to commit the crime," said another police officer. Saroj used to give her grandson Rs3,000 to Rs5,000 a month for his pocket money. Saroj's son Pankaj did not know this.
"He used to spend the money on hookah parlour and playing pool," said a police officer. On Tuesday, the two were remanded in judicial custody for a day. "They were taken to juvenile jail in Dongri. Nobody from the Patel family came to the police station," said Avinash Jadhav, senior inspector.

2 govt staff caught taking Rs. 50K bribe

2 govt staff caught taking Rs. 50K bribe

Two staff member of the central purchasing department were caught red handed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) while taking a bribe of Rs50,000 on Monday. The arrested accused have been identified as Praveen Patil, a clerk, and his assistant Dhananjay Jadhav.
According to an ACB officer, the complainant is a BMC tender holder. His job is to supply food to the BMC-run schools in Dadar. But allegedly, the food was not supplied regularly in the schools. Some one filed a complaint against the tender holder in central purchasing department.
Patil and Jadhav demanded Rs1.5 lakh from the tender holder for not taking action against him. An ACB official said: "The duo had already taken Rs60,000 from the tender holder earlier. But he did not want to pay the rest of the bribe. So he approached the ACB office and lodged complaint against the duo."
The ACB officers laid a trap, on the basis of complaint, and caught Patil and Jadhav red-handed while accepting Rs50,000.

Undeclared diamond lands trader in lock-up 70 pieces of the precious stone found from the coat pocket of Nihar Mehta

Undeclared diamond lands trader in lock-up

70 pieces of the precious stone found from the coat pocket of Nihar Mehta



Being one of the board of directors of a leading company which manufactures and exports diamond-studded gold jewellery does not seem to have been enough to satiate the greed of Nihar Mehta. What could otherwise explain the reason for him having been caught red handed by the custom officials at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport for attempted duty evasion?
Intercepted by a team led by Assistant Commissioner Sameer Wankhede, Mehta was found hiding over 70 pieces of diamond jewellery worth Rs16 lakh in his overcoat.
"On his way back from his business tour to Europe, Mehta was arrested and remanded to judicial custody till September 23 by the court," said a senior custom official.
Explaining that Mehta has been regular in jewellery export, the official said: "Amongst the board of directors of Bombay Jewellery Manufacturers, Mehta also has a unit with the Precious Cargo Clearance Customs Cell (PCCCC) in Bandra Kurla Complex where jewellery is sent for evaluation by the Customs. Mehta has been exporting jewellery to many diverse markets in the US as well as the UK, France, Italy, Germany and other member countries of the European Union."
According to sources, in a smart move, initially Mehta declared jewellery worth Rs44,000 in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
The jewellery was sealed and detained to be sent to the warehouse from where a Customs escort would get it cleared the day after. However, an uncomfortable body language and the sweating forehead of Mehta gave away his secret.
"It was evidently strange for Mehta to sport a long overcoat while it was relatively hot and he was sweating profusely," said a source.
According to Customs officials, a frequent flier Mehta has made 18 visits between 2010 and 2011 and it cannot be ruled out that he would have indulged in similar acts earlier. "Mehta admitted that it was his first attempt," said the officer.

Chandrashekhar Rokade, deputy municipal commissioner, held taking Rs.1 lakh bribe

Demolition Man held taking Rs.1 lakh bribe

Chandrashekhar Rokade, deputy municipal commissioner, does not believe in talks and campaigns against corruption. For, if he did, he would never have sought a bribe.
Officers from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) caught Rokade red-handed on Friday taking a bribe of Rs1 lakh inside his office in Byculla. Rokade, who had quit the Maharashtra police as a deputy commissioner in the late 1990s to join the BMC, took charge of the encroachment removal department six months ago.
The ACB officers laid a trap after a contractor told them that Rokade had threatened to cancel his and six others' contract of Rs9 crore with the BMC if he did not pay up. The contractor and the others supply labourers and vehicles to the encroachment removal department.
He alleged that Rokade had been harassing him on the pretext of doing a quality-check on his vehicles.
He told the ACB that Rokade had held back his bills and had sought Rs10 lakh to clear them. After paying the first instalment of Rs2 lakh, he approached the ACB.
"The complainant was given marked notes according to the plan," Niket Kaushik, additional commissioner of police, said. "Rokade was caught red-handed accepting Rs1 lakh in his Byculla office at 6pm."
Once he joined the BMC, Rokade earned himself the epithet, 'demolition man' for clearing encroachments.

In 2002, he was transferred out of the department because he did not follow the orders of the then municipal commissioner Karun Shrivastava. He went to the MMRDA on deputation and worked there for three years. He then became the chief executive officer of the Akola municipal council. During his tenure at Akola, he had a fist fight with a local political leader.
Soon after the incident, he was sent back to the BMC. After going through the election, education and gardens departments, he was rehabilitated in the encroachment removal department.

Cyber criminals devise new trick to extort money from Internet users

Guard yourself against spear attack

Cyber criminals devise new trick to extort money from Internet users



You might be the next victim of spear attack.
Also called spear phishing, cyber criminals have hit upon a sophisticated form of attack on Internet users by targeting a particular user after getting details about them and then launching an attack.
First, they will send an email saying that your computer has been attacked.
Then, they will accuse you of having a hidden file containing a child pornography clip. They will ask you to pay up otherwise they would tell the law enforcement agencies.
Although the user gets an email saying that his computer is under attack, it is difficult to detect it unless expert help is sought.
"Victims receive emails saying that their computer has been attacked or hacked into and there is child porn clip stored in it. The sender then says that if you don't pay up, the information about the clip would be leaked to his employers or law enforcement agencies," said Sahir Hidayatullah, a cyber security expert.
Fearing police action, innocent users pay up to avoid getting into legal action.
This form of extorting money online was earlier observed in Europe. With an increase in the use of the internet, it is being witnessed in the Indian cyber space.
"The sum demanded by the criminals is not a hefty one. It could be anything between $100 and $200. The victims pay to avoid getting into any kind of trouble so that the incident is not informed to agencies," said Hidayatullah.
Though the number of such attacks launched in the Indian cyber space is not known, but experts suspect that it could be no less than the Nigerian phishing attacks in which thousands of people have been duped.
"No such case has been reported to us but such attacks can be launched and innocent users would fall prey to it. The only thing one could do is to report the matter to the police and agencies so that the sender could be traced. If the sender is operating from within the country, he can be traced and police action can be initiated against them," said a senior police officer.

CEO, chairman and director of Bhandari bank arrested for sanctioning loans to non-existent parties

Rs.19cr co-op bank fraud busted

CEO, chairman and director of Bhandari bank arrested for sanctioning loans to non-existent parties



Officials from the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) recently arrested five men, including the chief executive officer, chairman and director of Bhandari Co-operative Bank, for their alleged involvement in a Rs19-crore fraud.
The bank authorities, including the chairman and director, had allegedly sanctioned loans for non-existent parties for 1,100 autorickshaw owners and a housing project in Thane despite knowing that the documents submitted in both the cases were bogus.
Those arrested are bank CEO Devchand Sete, 58, chairman Umesh Chamankar, 44, director Santosh Bidu, 47, and agents Manish Singh, 32, and Rakesh Patel, 39.
"Initially we had registered one case against the bank officials for issuing a bogus loan of Rs6 crore on a property located in Thane where they had claimed to have constructed a building for 65 BEST workers. But, during investigation, we found the bank authorities had issued bogus loans for 1,100 autorickshaws in the city that do not even exist based on forged documents," said an ACB official, on condition of anonymity.
The Bhandari Co-operative Bank officials had allegedly prepared all the forged documents, including the registration books that are issued by the regional transport offices (RTOs) and the applications, and they did not even submitted the documents at the local RTO office.
"The bank had sanctioned a property loan of Rs6 crore and mentioned in the documents that the property is located in Thane where the developer had constructed a building for 65 BEST workers. But, during inquiry, we found that the builder was not the same as mentioned in the documents and those living in the building were neither BEST workers nor had they taken any loan from Bhandari Co-operative bank," the ACB official added.
The five arrested accused have been produced in court and remanded in judicial custody.
"There are several other people, including the co-operative bank officials, who are yet to be arrested in this case," said Niket Kaushik, additional commissioner of the police, ACB Mumbai.

Ethical lessons for medical students compulsory? MCI & MUHS may include 20-mark paper in 4th year MBBS

Ethical lessons for medical students compulsory?

MCI & MUHS may include 20-mark paper in 4th year MBBS



Anna's fight against corruption has provoked top city doctors and deans of medical colleges to give some serious thought to corruption in the field of medicine.
Dr TP Lahane, dean of JJ Group of hospitals, has written to Maharashtra University of Medical Sciences, Nashik and to Medical Council of India to include a paper on medical ethics in PSM (preventive social medicine) or Forensic Sciences. MCI and MUHS are yet to give their nods, but top city doctors have agreed to support Dr Lahane's move in this regard.
The course of the paper is supposed to cover how doctors can prevent themselves from falling prey to sex determination rackets, associating with commission-giving Pharma companies, diagnostic centres and tertiary hospitals, and how they should ideally indulge in service rather than money-making propositions.
Dr Lahane told DNA, "If the subject is compulsory, then students will understand the malpractices in the profession and learn how to keep away." Both subjects would be taught in the fourth year of MBBS. Dr Lahane was recently in news for making 500 medical students take oath that they would never indulge in malpractices.
Dr Armida Fernandis, former dean of Sion Hospital, says, "Medical ethics is already there in the curriculum but since there was no marks or exam for that, nobody is actually teaching it in medical colleges."
According to Dr Fernandis, "If it is made compulsory in the course, students will be sensitised about medical corruption. But only theory will not do anything. Workshops and group discussion in medical colleges should be started immediately, where they can interact with doctors and get practical lessons."
Dr Sanjay Nagral, surgeon at Jaslok Hospital, says, "If 25 doctors give a statement that they may not earn crores of rupees but are happy being respected by others, it could do wonders. Young doctors look up to their seniors after all."
Dr Anand, who is a trustee of Moral Rearmament and Public Concern for Governance Trust, says, "Deans of medical colleges agreed with our request to take steps to inculcate ethical values in young doctors. Now, we will work with these medical colleges."

Shehla Khan, Sunil Gambers, Santosh Dayalkar and Manoj Vighe are now under arrest in Mumbai.

Shehla Khan is the one who was in the Andheri office. Rest were employees. Manoj Vighe was a so called director.

Masood is currently serving time in Bangalore Jail and will be there for atleast 2 more months.


Just an information to all, she has now changed her name to Chand Jayed. Information about this update has been submitted to EOW Mumbai.


 As we know that only a single company (Sunn Advt. Ltd,) file a case against City Realcom for a mere amount of Rs 54,000/- (Rupees fifty four thousand only). For that the company representative is NOT attending the Court hearing, as they may have capitalized the mopney from some other sources, may be from Masood and company.

   So, it is clear that the next date of hearing agin on 08 Sep 11 at Mumbai High Court and nothing would going in  favour of City Realcom Investors. Some investor forum or a bunch of investors from Mumbai have to file a fresh case for winding up of City Realcom, City Co-operative and City-Hospitality. Or otherwise we may not getting the verdict for those sisters concern of Citylimo for liquidation in future. That means we can not claim till further order of liquidation by the Court.

   So, may I request all investors of City Realcom, City-Co-op and City Hospitality (specially from Mumbai) to file a case at Mumbai High Court for liquidation, at the earliest.  Thanks.

Police find new gang targeting western suburbs houses that urgently need domestic helps

Public Public 'Educated' maids clean out homes

Police find new gang targeting western suburbs houses that urgently need domestic helps



A new gang of robbers seem to have taken on the western suburbs. They are pleasant, educated women who secure jobs as domestic helps and within a day clean out their employers' houses.
The police suspect one of the gang's latest victims were the Gulatis from Versova.
On August 23, when Jasbir Kaur was enquiring with the building watchman at her Andheri (West) housing society about a maid, a woman, who identified herself only as Harsha, overheard their conversation and said she was looking for a job.
Gulati told the police that she was impressed with Harsha, who is in her early 20s, as she seemed nice and well-mannered and immediately hired her without checking for references.
But the very next day, when Balwinder Gulati was at work at his electronics shop, Harsha slipped sleeping pills into Jasbir's tea and fled with cash and jewellery worth Rs18lakh.
The Gulatis have neither Harsha's photograph nor her address proof making the case difficult for the police to crack.
"This is why the police constantly stress on checking the past records of new servants. Even in this case, all that we are left with is a mobile phone number which may or may not be that of the accused," said senior inspector Sharad Borse of the Versova police station.
The police have found that this was not an isolated case.
At Kandivli police station alone two similar cases were registered in the last three months.
In July, a woman, who was hired by Deepak Dhar's wife as a domestic help without checking her antecedents or references, sneaked out diamond jewellery worth Rs6 lakh on the first day of her job. And this when all eight family members were in the house.
Dhar's wife told the police that she had hired the woman as she found her pleasing and well-mannered. She had told the Dhars that she was educated and urgently needed a job.
"We checked the profile of the accused in the Versova robbery with that in the Kandivli case. While the appearances of the women do not match, it cannot be ruled out that they might belong to the same gang as their modus operandi is same," said an officer from the Kandivli police station, requesting anonymity.
