Mumbai women fake molestation case to extort crores from businessman

India Dec 25, 2025

Two women in Mumbai, Hemlata Patkar and Amrina Zaveri, have been arrested for allegedly threatening to implicate a businessman's son in a false molestation case after an engagement party dispute.
Police say the pair tried to use the accusation as leverage to demand ₹10 crore from Arvind Goyal, threatening him with jail time and public shaming if he didn't pay up.

How police caught them

The accused first demanded ₹10 crore, then lowered it to ₹5.5 crore during negotiations.
On December 20, Mumbai Police set up a sting operation and caught them red-handed in Lower Parel while they were collecting ₹1.5 crore (with some fake notes included).
A third person involved is still on the run as police continue their investigation into the money trail.
