A 52-year-old businessman from Juhapura has approached Vejalpur police alleging that two men visited his house and demanded money over a financial dispute involving his son-in-law, before another man, claiming to be calling from Dubai, allegedly threatened to kill him and his family.
According to the complaint filed by Irfan Faridbhai Haveliwala on August 12, the incident began on August 3 at around 3.30 pm, when two unidentified men, who introduced themselves as Musabhai and Shanubhai, came to his residence at Kohetur Residence in Juhapura.
Haveliwala told police that the duo claimed they were waiting near Royal Akbar Tower and had come to recover the principal amount and interest allegedly owed by his son-in-law, Aarif Rangrez. They allegedly told him that if Aarif failed to pay the outstanding amount, he would have to settle the dues.
The complainant told the two men that the financial transaction was between them and Aarif and that he would not make the payment on behalf of his son-in-law. The two men allegedly became angry, abused him and argued with him.
Dubai-Based Caller Allegedly Issues Death Threats
Later that night, at around 10.30 pm, Haveliwala received WhatsApp calls from two numbers. The caller allegedly identified himself as Atik Mandali and claimed to be speaking from Dubai.
The caller questioned Haveliwala about why he had not paid the money to the men who had visited him earlier in the day. He allegedly threatened to kill the complainant and his entire family if the money was not paid and subjected him to verbal abuse.
Police Probe Under Way
Based on the complaint, Vejalpur police registered a case and initiated an investigation. Police Sub-Inspector Kumar Kesharbhai Desai has been assigned the probe.
Police are expected to examine the mobile numbers, call and WhatsApp records, along with other available evidence, to establish the identities of the persons involved and verify the alleged threats and demand for money.
