The Kandivli police have arrested three impostors who allegedly posed as Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials to extort money from doctors running clinics in the western suburbs. One more accused involved in the racket is currently on the run, and a search is underway, the police said.

The arrested accused have been identified as Kalpesh Subhash Kamble, Javed Jabbar Khan, and Anil Ankush Chavan. According to police, the gang specifically targeted BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery) and BHMS (Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery) doctors, threatening them with action over alleged non-compliance with BMC norms.
