The Thane city police have filed an FIR against seven individuals, including former Maharashtra DGP Sanjay Pandey, for alleged irregularities and extortion. The FIR, lodged on Monday, follows a complaint by Mumbai businessman Sanjay Punamiya, who reported harassment from the accused between May 2021 and 30 June 2024.

The accused alongside Pandey include retired ACP Sardar Patil, PI Manohar Patil, Advocate Shekar Jagtap, Shyamsunder Agrawal, Subham Agrawal, and Sharad Agrawal. Punamiya’s complaint alleges that the accused illegally reopened a 2016 crime case with the Thane Nagar police, threatened him and other businessmen with false charges, extorted money, and fabricated documents while impersonating a Special Public Prosecutor to mislead the courts.

The FIR includes various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), such as Section 166(a) for misconduct by a public servant, Section 170 for impersonation, Section 120B for criminal conspiracy, Section 193 for false evidence, and other sections related to forgery, extortion, and criminal intimidation. The police are investigating the case, but no arrests have been made so far.
