Six days after they allegedly attacked a roadside vegetable vendor in Mira Road for not paying them monthly hafta (protection money), nine people were booked by the Naya Nagar police under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for assault and putting a person in fear of injury in order to commit extortion. However, none of them have been arrested so far.
The incident has not only exposed the thriving multi crore hafta racket which flourishes in the twin-city, but also the inaction and failure of the police and the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) towards taking steps to weed out the menace.
