The Malvani Police have arrested two individuals, including a relative of a Mumbai Police official, for allegedly kidnapping, robbing, and extorting over Rs 6 lakh from a call center employee. The accused also recorded an explicit video of the victim and threatened to release it on social media as a means of blackmail. The arrested individuals have been identified as Angel Gomes (25) and Aditya Badekar (21).

According to police sources, the duo kidnapped a 25-year-old man from the Mahakali area on Lagoon Road, Malvani, in the early hours of December 24, around 3 am. They took him to an under-construction building in Goregaon, where they recorded a nude video of him holding a pouch of ganja. The accused then released him the following evening, threatening to make the video viral if he disclosed the incident to anyone. Before letting him go, they transferred over Rs 6 lakh from the victim's account.
