A person named Navin Keshvani who lives in Camp number 4 area of Ulhasnagar reportedly takes ransom money from businessmen in that area. Keshvani



also demanded ransom money of Rs 10,000 from Valecha. However, he refused to give money to Keshvani.

This made Keshvani furious and he along with three others went near the trader's house and threw bottles while standing on the road outside the house. In the CCTV footage four youths can be seen coming in an auto and throwing bottles at Valecha's house. They ran away in the same vehicle after throwing the bottles.
