A Goregaon resident has been struggling for the past three months to get a First Information Report (FIR) registered at Dindoshi police station in relation to a cheating case worth Rs 10.8 lakh. The woman recorded her statement in November 2022 and met the senior police inspector two weeks ago, but hasn’t seen any progress. This comes in the backdrop of a recent circular by the commissioner of police directing police stations to take action on complaints within 45 days and update complainants on it.
What is the case about?
The woman met a man in 2015 on social media and they developed a friendship. The man claimed to be working for Tata Trusts as a market capitalist and having a close association with its chairman, Ratan Tata. The man enticed her with a job offer where she would be interviewed by Tata. He crafted a mentorship system wherein through situations and assignments meant to prepare her, the woman coughed up Rs 2.03 lakh in 2019 and R1.78 lakh in 2020. He claimed he would return the whole amount or invest the money in the stock market, based on her choice.
