The Wanowrie police on Monday arrested Sunil Bansode (21), a criminal on police record, and booked his brother Anil for trying to extort money from a civic contractor’s supervisor.
“The Bansode brothers armed with a weapon ordered the supervisor at the site to stop work and demanded money for continuing the same while a team of Pune Municipal Corporation officials was carrying out inspection,” said assistant inspector Shekhar Shinde. The suspects hurled abuses and pelted a stone at the supervisor and trampled on the freshly laid concrete patch, he added.
The contractor’s supervisor, Hrishikesh Thakar, registered a complaint against the Bansodes for demanding money, preventing them from performing their duty and causing grievous hurt, among other charges under IPC.
Shinde said Sunil has five cases registered against him with the Wanowrie and Hadapsar police stations. A police team is on the look out for Anil who is on the run after the incident.
