Chargesheet filed against suspended cop in extortion case

Thane, Apr 11 (UNI) Police have filed a chargesheet in a local court here against former police officer Ravindra Angre for allegedly threatening a city-based builder.

Angre allegedly threatened builder Ganesh Wagh, who has undertaken a multi-crore sports complex project in the district. The officer allegedly wanted a share in the property.

However, when the builder did not pay heed to his demands, Angre went to Mr Wagh's office and allegedly threatened him at gunpoint. He also allegedly took away two cars belonging to the builder.

Mr Wagh lodged a complaint with the local police and later moved the High Court that directed the police to arrest the officer.

Angre had been absconding since then but had surrendered in the last week of February, this year.
