Regards, Deep http://gaynotes. blogspot. com/ `Thane thief would blackmail his homosexual partners' Police say Shankar Tukaram Kamble would get into relationships with gay men and then extort money from them, threatening to expose them to their families if they didn't comply. Police say he confessed after being arrested for house-breaking MUMBAI MIRROR BUREAU The Thane Crime Branch have arrested a married man who allegedly seduced several homosexual men into having a relationship with him and then extorted cash and valuables from them by threatening to reveal their sexuality to their families. Police said they had nabbed Shankar Tukaram Kamble for breaking into several homes, and recovered Rs 12 lakh worth of gold ornaments from him. "However, when we interrogated him, this new facet of his life of crime was revealed," said Additional CP (Crime) Prashant Burde. The 27-year-old father-of-two revealed how he would pick up his partners from public toilets at the Kalyan State Transport bus stand and at Dombivli Station. After getting involved with them, he would threaten to tell their families about their relationship. Most of his victims would then part with their valuables or money to silence him. Expectedly, not a single victim has come forward to lodge a complaint. Police believe this is why Kamble volunteered the information – he knew his victims wouldn't want to be identified, and therefore no action could be taken against him. Kamble – who has 21 offences of housebreaking registered against him – has also maintained that the gold recovered from him was stolen from 18 homes he broke into, and does not belong to any of his homosexual victims. Police are still investigating this. "We are trying to trace them to see if they want to lodge complaints," added Burde. Meanwhile, he has been arrested under Section 380 (theft). KAMBLE'S HISTORY OF CRIME "He has been arrested in the past, and is known to use tricks such as biting cops, banging his head on the wall, not eating food, excreting in police lock-ups to evade interrogation, " said a Thane Crime Branch officer. This time, too, when he was nabbed from a flat in Dombivli, he tried to flee by biting a constable. The Thane Crime Branch team that caught him included Head Constable Ramesh Chougule, and Police Naiks Rajan More and Rajkumar Tarde Kamble.
