The Mumbai Police on Friday arrested a mother-daughter duo for allegedly duping an Andheri businessman of Rs 1.3 crore. The businessman had paid the duo, resident of Kalyan (West), for a tugboat and a barge vessel during the lockdown.
According to a report in the Times of India, businessman Sushant Shelatkar (39), who is into shipping logistics, registered a case with the Andheri police station in October 2020 after he found that Raghini Khandelwal (52), and Mansi (22), had duped several people, including a politician, after showing them the same hull or outer body of the vessel.
