Two brothers along with 4 others arrested for extortion

Two brothers were arrested here along with four others for allegedly trying to extort money from the business partner of one of the siblings, police said today.
Vinay Jain (42), his brother Sanjay Jain (40) and four of their accomplices --Sanjay, (31), Naveen (21), Ramkesh (20) and Vikas Sharma (39) -- were apprehended in the past one week following investigations into a complaint filed by Mukesh Aggarwal last month that he had received an extortion call for Rs five crore from unknown men.
Vinay had business dispute with his partner Aggarwal, police said today.
"It is a classic case of business partnership turning sour wherein one of the partners (Vinay) in a real estate development company had hired professional criminals to settle scores with his estranged financier cum partner," Sanjeev Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), said.

The gang asked Aggarwal for Rs five crore within three days following which he approached police, he said.
Within days of the first extortion call, another threatening call was received by the complainant.

The caller had told the complainant that he had received orders from 'bhai' to kill him if the payment was not made, Yadav said.
During investigations, it came to light that some people located in Haryana's Jind were behind the extortion calls and raids were conducted there.
Ramkesh was the first to be arrested from Narela in Delhi. Naveen, who runs a property dealing office in Jind was the next to land in the police net. He told police that he had procured SIM cards at the instance of Sanjay who was also arrested.

It was during the interrogation of the trio that they told police about Vinay and his brother Sanjay Jain's involvement and they were also apprehended.
"Vinay had business dispute with his partner Aggarwal. Vinay expressed his concerns with his brother who approached Sanjay in February in Behrore of Rajasthan through his relative Vikas, who was working there in the factory owned by Sanjay Jain.
"Vikas introduced Sanjay to his employer under a false name Upender Jain. Sanjay Jain had booked two rooms in a luxury resort in Behrore where he and Sanjay r/o Nindana stayed for two days and discussed their plan of extorting money from the complainant.

"Once the details were finalised, Sanjay Jain left for China to create a plea of alibi while directing Sanjay to execute the plan," Yadav said.
