Abduction and extortion
This was his tactic to lure more businessmen and realtors to approach him with demonetised notes. As people started approaching Nagaraj in large numbers, he started using his associates to blackmail the businessmen and even abducted and extorted cash from them.
"Nagaraj is still in denial mode, and is not admitting his crime. We have recorded his statements and are verifying them," said Ajay Hilori, deputy commissioner of police, East Division. Efforts are on to get more information from him before his custody is over, he said.
