Mumbai Court Charges Gangster Ravi Pujari in Two Extortion Cases Including Rs 10 Crore Demand
A special MCOCA court in Mumbai has framed charges against gangster Ravi Pujari in two extortion cases, including an alleged demand of Rs 10 crore from former IAS officer Radheshyam Mopalwar in 2017. The prosecution claims Pujari threatened Mopalwar and his family, demanding money and attempting to influence the case against others. However, a 2023 court acquitted three accused due to insufficient evidence and investigative gaps, questioning the prosecution's link to Pujari. An associate of Pujari remains absconding.
