In a dramatic turn of events, South Mumbai developer Hifzur Rahman Ansari, allegedly abducted by notorious gangster Iliyas Abdul Aziz Khan, also known as Iliyas Bachkana, for an exorbitant extortion sum, was clandestinely rescued from the eastern suburbs in a highly covert operation on Friday evening by the Anti Extortion Cell of Mumbai Crime Branch. Ansari was kidnapped by Bachkana demanding a ransom of RS 10 crore.

The entire police force was working on it as they were aware of the notorious record of Bachkana as he would not think twice to eliminate Ansari which might lead to creating a fear amongst the people in the city. "When we reached the location he was surprised and was very violent but our team managed to arrest and rescued the victim who was thrashed badly by Bachkana and was kept inside a slum area and one person was keeping a watch on him," said DCP Raj Tilak Roushan.
