The Regional Transport Office (RTO) officer was the target of an extortion attempt by Kasam Hasham Mulani, the founder president of the Navi Mumbai Rickshaw Federation, which led to Mulani’s arrest by Nerul police. When he agreed to pay an extortion of Rs 20,000, he was exposed.
As Assistant Inspector Kunal Mohite, an RTO officer from the Nerul office, conducted vehicle testing on the testing track, Mulani was filming him. Mulani would always threaten to teach everyone a lesson after filming the police and shooting him.
Mohite took out Rs 20,000 in cash from the ATM prior to meeting Mulani; the Nerul police had a record of the ATM’s serial number. Mulani arrived, and Mohite gave him the money. Mulani then began to demand Rs. 2 lakh, threatening to provide just Rs. 1 lakh by the end of the day. He was apprehended by Nerul police at the same moment.
The first president of the Navi Mumbai Rickshaw Federation is Mulani, a Taloja inhabitant. In addition, he serves as the NCP Minority Division’s District President for Panvel City.

The City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO) has announced a substantial drop in metro ticket costs for the Belapur-Pendhar corridor, which is a positive development for Metro riders in Navi Mumbai. With effect from September 7, the new pricing structure will result in fare reductions of up to 33%. The highest ticket has been restricted at Rs 30 and the lowest fare will now be Rs 10.
With longer travel distances for each cost slab, the revised fare scheme provides greater value for the money. A ticket will now cost Rs 10 for travels up to four kilometers, Rs 20 for travels between four and eight kilometers, and Rs 30 for travels beyond eight kilometers. The fee has been lowered from Rs 40 to Rs 30 from Belapur Terminal to Pendhar.
CIDCO has expanded the Navi Mumbai Metro service’s operating hours in addition to lowering fares. Metro services from Belapur and Pendhar stations will now start at six in the morning starting in April. The final metro train leaves Belapur at 11 p.m. and Pendhar at 10:30 p.m. This is a weekly extension that is applicable every day.
Along its 11.1-kilometer journey, the Belapur-Pendhar Line-1 of the Navi Mumbai Metro has 11 stops, with the train depot situated at Taloja Panchanand.
According to a statement made to the Hindustan Times by CIDCO’s vice chairman and managing director, Vijay Singhal, “the fare reduction and extended timings aim to make the metro service more accessible and convenient for both short- and long-distance commuters.”
Part of CIDCO’s Navi Mumbai Metro project, the Navi Mumbai Metro Corridor No. 1 connects Belapur to Pendhar and improves access to important locations including the CBD, Taloja MIDC, and CIDCO’s housing complexes in Kharghar. This line’s metro services started on November 17 of last year.
