Bhoomi Pujan Drama: Four Transgender Persons Held for Alleged ₹5.5 Lakh Extortion Bid in Bandra

Before leaving, they reportedly wrote down a name and mobile number, warning that they would call by 3 pm and return with a larger group if the money was not paid.

Security personnel alerted the police, and two uniformed officers reached the spot. A few hours later, two more transgender persons allegedly arrived and repeated the demand, using similar threats of public indecency to disrupt the event, police said.

Officers present at the site intervened and detained them. During questioning, the detained individuals allegedly disclosed the names of two others said to have been involved earlier in the day.

All four accused, residents of Sion Koliwada, have been booked for extortion. Police said they were served notices, as the offence is bailable. Further investigation is underway.
