Nagpur: Kotwali Police have registered a case against a city-based doctor for allegedly demanding ₹5 crore from the manager of an educational institution in exchange for stopping complaints filed against the institute. The incident, which occurred on June 3 near Prasarak Mandal Adarsh Pharmacy College opposite Nandanvan, came to light after a detailed police investigation.
The accused has been identified as Dr. Gopal Bhutada (52), a resident of Wathoda. According to police, Bhutada allegedly approached an employee of the institution, Kunal Gaikwad, and asked him to convey to the management that unless ₹5 crore was paid, he would continue filing complaints and attempt to shut down the institution.

After a preliminary inquiry and approval from senior authorities, an official case was finally registered on August 16—more than two months after the initial report.
