A 45-year-old foreign languages teacher was forced to run around by the police for almost eight months in Nalasopara, over a cyber fraud case wherein he was duped. During these eight months, the officers at Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police kept telling him that investigations were underway, even though they had not even registered an FIR in the case.
The FIR was registered only after the victim, Niranjan Jha, met zonal Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Suhas Bavche, who pulled up the cops at Nalasopara police station, and directed them to immediately register an FIR. Bavche, too, had to ask the cops twice to get them to register the FIR. However, the cops have not added section(s) of the Information Technology (IT) Act in the registered FIR.
