The Khar police have arrested three transgenders who allegedly attempted to extort Rs 15,000 from a delivery executive by threatening to report a false molestation case against him. Police have identified the accused as Sandhya Pradhan, Nagendra Sardar, and Kavita Kadam.

Police said that the incident took place on May 24 at around 8.45 pm near Carter Road in Bandra West, when the victim, a 29-year-old resident of Santacruz, was making a delivery. According to the police, the victim needed to relieve himself and could not find a public toilet nearby, so he walked into the nearby mangroves along a pathway near Carter Road.
