After going up to a certain distance, the women in the auto rickshaw started
demanding money and other valuables from Shetty. When Shetty refused, they
threatened him saying that they would create a scene and file a complaint of
sexual harassment against him if he fails to give them the money. The women told
him that they would say that Shetty had got into the auto rickshaw and sexually
harassed them. Fearing the consequences, Shetty took out some money from his
pocket to give it to them. They forcibly took all the money from him. He had Rs
3,000 with him, Shetty told the police.
On September 12, he had filed a complaint with the Upparpet police and the
police had taken up a case of extortion. As such incidents are on the rise, the
police took the probe on priority and managed to nab the duo from Majestic area
with the help of their informants. Police said, the women use to wink at their
persons they spotted as targets at the Majestic bus station and invite them in a
auto rickshaw. “Once people fall for their tricks, they would blackmail them,”
an officer said.
Police have recovered the robbed money from the women. Their associates,
identified as Rathna, Suman, Padma and an autorickshaw driver are still at large
and efforts are on to nab them. According to the police, this gang is not behind
the robbing of a decorator from Tirupati and the recent robbery of a person from
North, who lost his mobile phone and cash to a woman extortionist in the subway.
Police have requested the people to alert them on West division
control room 080-22943232 or call DCP (West) 9480801701 and inform if they have
been robbed or have information on such gangs operating in Majestic area.
