Virar doctor alleges police sought Rs 15 crore to settle case; commissioner orders probe

Dr Nitin Thorve alleged that police personnel requested Rs 15 crore to resolve a criminal case against him. The allegations led Police Commissioner Niket Kaushik to order an inquiry by an assistant commissioner. Thorve's statement was recorded during the inquiry but lacked evidence for the money demand. Assistant Police Inspector Rupesh Dalvi denied the claims, stating the case was transferred for further investigation.
