What Happened
A 26-year-old physiotherapist from Mulund was allegedly kidnapped, assaulted, stripped, and filmed by a gang of four men inside an under-construction building in Vikhroli on November 4 at around 3:30 PM. Police arrested two suspects, Rohit Sawant alias Abba (22) and Rajesh Devar (23), both unemployed residents of Surya Nagar, Vikhroli West. One suspect has a prior criminal record. The gang stripped the victim of his gold chain, earrings, and bracelet, seized his wallet, cards, and PINs, and forced him to transfer money online. They withdrew Rs45,000 from ATMs and handed the cards back before threatening him with fatal consequences if he reported the incident. Police registered a case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for dacoity and extortion, identified six suspects total, and are hunting for four absconding individuals.
Why it matters
The victim’s physical and financial trauma, including theft of valuables and forced digital transactions, could disrupt his financial stability and personal safety. Police are actively searching for four remaining suspects while investigating the dacoity case under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in Mumbai’s under-construction areas and the risks faced by individuals during late afternoon commutes. Authorities aim to apprehend all suspects to prevent further harm and ensure justice for the victim.
