A 65-year-old man, whose son was booked in an extortion case by the MHB police and is absconding, abused the police team and tried to end his life when the police reached his residence to arrest his son. The alleged incident took place on Tuesday evening at Makadwala compound in Dahisar West. The septuagenarian, identified as Laxman Kunchikorve, was rescued by the police. He was later booked for deterring public servant from discharging their duty.

The MHB police reached Kunchikorve's residence after constable Pravin Jople received the information that accused Mahadev Kunchikorve, wanted in an extortion case, was at home.
