The Railway Special Task Force has arrested two youths who robbed homosexual individuals whom they would lure through a dating app. The accused, both 19-year-old college students, created fake profiles to approach potential victims. Once contact was established, they would arrange to meet their victims in person, taking them to a secluded area in the Kandivli railway yard, where they used knives to threaten and rob them.

The accused have been identified as Ravishankar alias Ravi alias Nandan Leelakant Zhan, who claims to have started an import-export firm, and Anubhav alias Hrithik Nanhelal Ozha. Both are residents of Poinsur, Kandivli. According to police, Ravi needed money to fund his business, while Anubhav claimed he required cash to buy food for his gym training regimen.
