In Shivaji Park, Mumbai, a 62-year-old businessman named Mahesh Kotecha was allegedly tied up and robbed by a masseur and two accomplices on Saturday night. Kotecha, who was familiar with one of the suspects, Hitesh Thakur, called Vikas Choudhary for a massage. After a brief session, Choudhary locked Kotecha in the washroom and summoned his associates. When Kotecha raised an alarm, they tied him up and stole ₹9,000 (approximately $110 USD), two watches, and a mobile phone before fleeing. Kotecha managed to free himself the next morning and reported the incident to the Shivaji Park police. Authorities quickly traced the suspects to Kherwadi in Bandra, detaining Choudhary, Vivek Thakur, and a minor. The adult suspects were presented in court while the minor was taken to the Juvenile Justice Board.
