A group of three robbers waylaid a 30-year-old real estate agent on July 23 evening, abducted him and extorted cash and jewellery worth Rs 13 lakh from him. The victim was so scared that he managed to report the matter to the Mahim police station only on July 28. The Crime Branch too, is conducting a parallel investigation in the matter.

According to the police, the incident occurred between 4.30pm and 5pm at Raheja junction near Macchimaar Colony when complainant Harshal Manjarekar was on his way to Bandra from his house. "When his car reached Raheja junction, another vehicle suddenly arrived at the spot and overtook his car. After going ahead for a distance, one of the passengers in the other vehicle signaled at Manjarekar's driver asking him to stop the car," said a police officer.
