The Khar police inspector who is accused of being part of an extortion racket to get a man to vacate his flat allegedly also refused to register a case involving the sexual abuse of a minor. The father of the child approached mid-day yesterday after reading this newspaper’s report (‘Fugitive cop was part of extortion racket, August 6) about the inspector.

Inspector Mahendra Nerlekar, along with API Subhash Samant, allegedly connived with local goon Robin Gonsalves, builder Vijay Arora and his driver Mahesh Kamble to grab a flat from real estate agent Sanjay Pawar and get him to cough up money.
