Mohsin offered to double Rs 10 lakh in 15 days
A sub-inspector, along with accomplices, stands accused of duping a woman from Pune of Rs 8 lakh. The woman was lured by a friend’s promise of substantial profits through investments. When the woman met her friend, Mohsin, she handed over Rs 9.75 lakh in cash, a sub-inspector nabbed her friend and took him to the RCF police station. It became evident to her later that her friend and the cop were colluding, ultimately swindling her of her funds.
Initial inquiries have identified the involved sub-inspector as being stationed at the RCF police station, where the FIR was filed. The complainant, a 39-year-old Pune resident, had befriended Mohsin during a seminar in Pimpri-Chinchwad four months earlier. Mohsin engaged her in discussions about trading and investments, assuring her of substantial returns. On July 15, Mohsin offered to double Rs 10 lakh in 15 days. After spreading the word about this opportunity, a contact of hers expressed interest and transferred Rs 10 lakh to the woman’s account.
