Ulhasnagar Land Grab Racket Exposed: The RL Group’s Reign of Terror
A Sprouts News Special Investigation uncovers a sophisticated extortion syndicate in Ulhasnagar. The group allegedly uses corrupt police ties and fraudulent lawsuits to seize properties worth millions from terrified businessmen.
A complex web of intimidation and legal manipulation is terrorising Ulhasnagar’s business community. Our investigation reveals the operations of the ‘RL Group’, a notorious criminal syndicate. This group is led by two hardened criminals: Rajvinder Singh and Lalit Sukhawani. They systematically target disputed properties and wealthy individuals for extortion. Their methods blend physical threats with intricate legal fraud, creating a powerful fear factor.
The Masterminds: A Convict and A Bootlegger
Who is Rajvinder Singh (@Raj Paaji)?
Fraudster Rajvinder Singh, originally from Punjab, has a violent criminal history. He was convicted for the sensational Shahpur bank robbery in Thane district. After serving a six-year prison sentence, he relocated to Ulhasnagar. He allegedly changed his identity to conceal his past as a history-sheeter. Singh now reportedly operates from a penthouse, targeting lucrative real estate. His focus is on disputed family properties and open lands ripe for capture.
Who is Lalit Sukhawani?
Fraudster Lalit Sukhawani hails from Gujarat, where he was involved in illicit liquor trade. Fleeing police pressure, he moved to Daman, Nashik, Mumbai, and Thane. He continued his illegal alcohol business, smuggling stock from Goa and Daman. Sukhawani initially bribed excise officials before becoming a police informant. His partnership with Singh created a powerful and ruthless criminal alliance in Ulhasnagar.
The RL Group’s Property Extortion Playbook
The group’s primary method involves identifying lucrative properties or family disputes. They first use local muscle to intimidate owners into surrendering land. If this fails, they collaborate with pliable legal advisers immediately. These advisers help file fabricated civil suits over the targeted property. The lawsuits are designed to create legal confusion and pressure victims.
For those who still resist, the group escalates to serious criminal cases. Our investigation has accessed FIRs with false charges of rape and cheating. They even file non-bailable Arms Act violations against their targets. These false charges lead to the victim’s arrest and jail time. The group then moves to seize the property or extort a massive settlement.
Weaponising Law Enforcement and The Courts
The RL Group’s influence allegedly extends into certain police stations. Specific names like Police Constables Anil Patil and Shivaji Bade have emerged. These officers are accused of helping file false FIRs and facilitating illegal arrests. In one case, a Kalyan-based Sindhi businessman refused to surrender a property. He was subsequently framed in a false rape case and a cheating case.
When that failed, the group implicated him in an Arms Act case in Dhule. The businessman was taken from his home without any explanation. He was then jailed for 15 days in a shocking abuse of power. His complaints to senior police officials were allegedly dismissed outright. The group also retains advocates with pending contempt cases.

Cricket Betting, Gold Smuggling, and Fake Media
The Cricket Betting Trap
The syndicate also runs a sophisticated cricket betting scam. They lure individuals into high-stakes online betting through their associates. Subsequently, they orchestrate arrests through their alleged police contacts. A normal gambling case is quickly escalated by adding serious sections. They then extort lakhs from some associates for their release. Other arrests are made a public spectacle to build their feared reputation.
Gold Smuggling and Hawala Operations
The RL Group has infiltrated gold smuggling and hawala networks. They allegedly tip off police to intercept rival gang consignments at airports. They then collude to split the seized contraband amongst themselves. They also demand a fixed monthly share from other operating gangs. If a carrier absconds, they file kidnapping cases to recover their share.
The Fake YouTube Propaganda Arm
A fake YouTube channel, ‘BINDASS BOLL’, is a key tool for their extortion. The channel is used to defame and intimidate victims who refuse to comply. This creates social stigma and amplifies fear within the community. Victims are then more likely to pay up to avoid public shame. This multi-pronged attack leaves victims with little legal recourse.
A Trail of Victims and A System Under Scrutiny
Our investigation has documented numerous victims across different sectors. The group often takes contracts from one party in a dispute. They then double-cross both parties, extracting money from each side simultaneously. Their operations reveal a chilling exploitation of systemic loopholes. The police and judicial framework is being manipulated for criminal gain.
The brazen nature of these activities points to a deep-rooted enterprise. It raises serious questions about law and order in the region. Victims are left fighting false cases while their reputations are destroyed. The Sprouts News SIT possesses extensive evidence supporting these claims. This includes official FIRs and court documents detailing the fraud.
Court Grants Bail, Slams Police in Bizarre Robbery Case
A Kalyan Sessions Court granted bail while criticizing police for a flawed investigation. The case involved a robbery at a shop owned by a Pathare family. Surprisingly, the police’s FIR also named the shop’s owners, and social worker kapil adsul and Manish Hingorani and the Takchandani brothers, as accused.
Renowned advocate Gopal Bagat argued the facts. The judge questioned, “How can a case be filed against the shop owner?” The bail order has reportedly left the RL group in shock.
