He called the cops and two of the men were caught and taken to the police station. The others fled. The businessman who bought the flat at Ruia Park, Juhu, from Anup’s mother in 2005 says the cops were questioning the men at the station when they got a phone call. The cops then stopped questioning the two.

A little later a man in uniform came to the station and took the men away. The businessman said he did not pursue the case in the face of stonewalling by authorities.
