Nagpur: A 19-year-old goon, Sumeet Sakhre alias Tinya, was booked for extortion after returning from jail by Kapil Nagar police on Monday for targeting and threatening the same shopkeeper for Rs 50,000 whom he had tortured in the past too.
Tinya had tried to extort money from Kusum Sahu who owned a pan kiosk at Samta Nagar on June 12. After being sent to jail, he had returned a day ago and started demanding the amount which was used for legal expenses.

According to police, the complaint was lodged by Kusum Ramesh Sahu (37), a resident of Samta Nagar. On June 12, Sumit and his accomplice approached Sahu’s Paan Shop. Wielding a knife to threaten, they demanded a ransom of Rs 10,000. Upon Sahu’s refusal, the situation escalated, resulting in physical violence. Jaripatka police had registered a case of attempt to murder and apprehended Sakhre. He was released on bail recently.
However, the release did not deter Sakhre from his criminal activities. On Monday night, he returned to the scene, issuing threats to Sahu. He demanded Rs 50,000 from Sahu and even warned of dire consequences if the demand wasn’t met.
A case under Sections 384, 294 and 506 (2) of Indian Penal Code was registered by Kapil Nagar police and the goon was arrested.
