According to police, the businessman was followed and stopped by six unidentified individuals on the service road of Sector 17 in Vashi, near Palm Beach under the Vashi bridge.

An FIR was registered under various sections of the IPC for dacoity, kidnapping, wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement, impersonating a public servant, and other charges. During the course of the investigation, the involvement of the police officer came to light, leading to his arrest by the Vashi police.
