Mumbai: In a shocking case of extortion and violence, a 44-year-old badminton coach was brutally stabbed by three local miscreants in Chembur after refusing to pay a weekly extortion amount of Rs 1,000.

The incident took place late Sunday night near the Babasaheb Ambedkar SRA Building in Prabuddha Nagar. The victim, Prafulla Ghatvisave, was speaking with a friend outside his residence when the accused Sunny Madhukar Bhosale (30), Sunny Ramdas Buchude (32), and Vikas Khetre (28) approached him, as reported by The Times Of India.

The accused introduced themselves as members of the "Sunny gang." The trio demanded Rs 1,000 per week from the rent of a room owned by the sister of Ghatvisave's friend, identified as Shobha Sakhra.
