Police arrested seven alleged Kanna gang members under MCOCA. The gang extorted protection money from companies and developers in Mumbai. An attack on a registered Mathadi worker led to the recent arrests. The Kanna brothers, alleged leaders, remain absconding from authorities. Investigators are continuing efforts to trace the absconding gang leaders.
Companies and developers in Mumbai have faced extortion demands from this gang; the arrests may disrupt ongoing protection money collection, though the alleged gang leaders remain at large.
