The Kandivli police have apprehended a 37-year-old individual accused of duping a Mumbai-based IT professional of Rs 23 lakh by inducing her to invest in the property business in Pune. According to the sources, the complainant got acquainted with the accused through a dating site in 2021. After gaining her trust, the accused began communicating with her over the phone and eventually met her in Mumbai a few times. Pretending to be a property businessman, he enticed her with the promise of substantial profits, persuading her to take a bank loan for investment and later absconding with the money.
Despite the complainant waiting for years, the accused failed to provide the promised property or return the money. The victim complained to the Kandivli police in January. Following the registration of the case under various sections, Assistant Police Inspector Sohan Kadam initiated the investigation under the guidance of DCP (Zone 11) Anand Bhoite and Senior Police Inspector Dyaneshwar Ganore. The accused, identified as Pritesh Prem Singh Duglaj alias Nikki Singh, was apprehended from Pune on Saturday.
