Forty-two-year-old Sanjay Nalawade, who had come to Thane from Ratnagiri on Sunday to meet a relative, was shocked to death when a Government Railway Police (GRP) constable and a homeguard caught hold of him at the station's men's loo and threatened to frame him in a molestation case if he refused to give them Rs 60,000. Not knowing what to do, Nalawade withdrew Rs 10,000 from a nearby ATM and gave them the cash along with his gold chain.

However, soon after, when he approached the Thane police, they registered a case and arrested the duo. Following this, the GRP commissioner suspended the constable, who already faces a number of complaints.
