According to the report, the inspector – who has been identified as Anant Patel-  along with nine police constables had abducted three residents of Surat including Shailesh Bhatt, Kirit Paladiya and a driver referred to as Mahipal on February 14. The cops took their captives to a farmhouse, beating them and forcing them to transfer the bitcoins. The amount involved is equal to roughly $1.3 million at current prices.
