According to Shahpur police, the complainant, identified as Prakash alias Montu Kayubhai Jane (43), was targeted by accused individuals, including Mayur alias Bhiyo and Shakti alias Gharibana, along with two unidentified men. The victim, who earns his livelihood by sewing pants from home, was reportedly called behind a parked vehicle inside the premises of Madhuram Talkies and forced to hand over money.

The accused demanded money from the complainant and, upon his refusal, resorted to violence.
