An extortion call was received by the manager of a private firm, which was supposedly from the Ravi Poojari gangster. He was asked to give Rs. 50 crore. On Sunday, Kiran Henry Pinto registered a case with the Police, who had received the call on the previous day around 4.30 pm.

In Chickpet, Mr. Pinto, who is the manager of JP Lights, an electrical showroom on Hospital Road, gave the complaint that the caller spoke in Hindi and gave his name as Ravi Poojari. He threatened that the consequences of refusing the demand will be dire.

Mr. Pinto had returned to India 1 year ago, after running transporting business for 14 years in Dubai. According to the police, the call came from the UK. They think it is an inside job.

They suspect that somebody from Mr. Pinto’s family has made the call due to the suspected family feud.

The Police further said that Mr. Pinto ran a transport business with Hillary Pinto, who is his brother in Dubai for 15 years. In 2009, Mr. Pinto returned to India due to money dispute and joined with Mr. Deepak, who is his friend.
