A male and a female cop, attached to the Social Service Branch of the Mumbai police, succeeded in nabbing three tantriks, who duped childless couples by promising them a child and then extorting money, by posing as childless couple, on Monday.

Female constable Kalpana Nigawane and head constable Shyamrao Godase, posing a childless couple, contacted tantrik Kamal Khan on his mobile on Monday and told him that they had been married for ten years and but did not have a child till date.
Khan told the couple to meet him outside Hind Nagar building at Tardeo on Monday night. Accordingly, the couple contacted Khan when they reached the place at around 9.15pm.

Khan asked them to pay Rs151 as consultation fees. Later, he told the couple that he will give them a specially blessed talisman to get a child and asked for a fee of Rs3400 for the same. However, the couple expressed their inability to pay cash as they were from a poor family. They then gave him Rs500 as his consultation fees. The couple signalled to the cops in plain clothes, who rushed to the spot and nabbed Khan and his two associates.

The three tantriks, Mukhateeb Sheikh alias Kamal Khan, 33; Sakib Ansari, 22 and Islamuddhin Saifee, 31 were remanded to police custody till May 13.
