The complainant has also mentioned Sachin Waze, Sumit Singh alias Chintu, Alpesh Patel, Vinay Singh alias Bablu and Riaz Bhati. The police have arrested Sumit Singh in the case, which has been transferred to the Crime Branch.

Agarwal has claimed in the complaint that the arrested accused, API Sachin Waze, had told Agarwal that his number one boss was Parambir Singh and that Singh had given Waze a target of collecting Rs 2 crore daily.

In his statement to the police, Agarwal said that after bars, restaurants and bookies, Singh's next target was BMC contractors. Bimal told the police that Waze had come to know that complaints had been lodged against several civil contractors in the BMC.

While in jail, Waze had written a letter in which he said that Transport Minister Anil Parab had asked him to recover money from the BMC contractors.
