The Bangur Nagar police have arrested two men accused of cheating a businessman of R42.85 lakh by promising him electrical supply orders for major builders in Mumbai. The accused gained the trust of Gauran Pravin Jhunjhunwala, 40, by initially placing small orders and promptly paying for them. Once they gained Jhunjhunwala’s trust, the accused convinced him to accept a larger order. However, after paying a little over half the cost, the accused vanished.
Jhunjhunwala operates an electrical supply business in Kandivli. He met one of the accused, Sachin Ahuja, in March 2022. Ahuja invited Jhunjhunwala to his company, Radhakrishna Enterprise’s office in Malad. Ahuja claimed that he had heard about Jhunjhunwala’s work in the market and wanted to place an order for electrical wires to be used in new building projects by prominent builders. Ahuja placed an initial order worth R1.10 lakh and paid Jhunjhunwala by cheque.
