The police are on a lookout for a resident of Jogeshwari for allegedly abducting a Kandivli restaurateur and attempting to extort Rs 75,000 from him after releasing him. The 25-year-old restaurateur filed a police complaint saying that a man started calling the police complaining about his rooftop restaurant in Malad violating rules, Mumbai Mirror reported.
The series of complaints forced the police to visit the restaurant multiple times for rounds and also led to the restaurateur losing his patrons, thus taking a toll on its business, he said in the complaint. When the restaurateur made his own inquiries, he found that a man named Sachin Londhe, whom he did not know, was making the calls.
