MUMBAI: A man who used to buy gold from a business woman from Kerala and sell it in Mumbai was arrested for cheating. He and his accomplice gave a fake story that while on their way to deliver gold worth Rs 2 crore, a biker snatched the bag and fled.
Later, they changed the story that the person had forcibly taken over the booty and was demanding Rs 5 lakh for its return.
The anti-extortion cell of Mumbai Police arrested Mansoor Pathan (38) and Samad Khan (29) under IPC sections for cheating, forgery, breach of trust and extortion, and 120 B for criminal conspiracy.
The Kerala woman used to buy ornaments from jewellers in wholesale and sell them in Mumbai through agents. Police said Samad used to sell the gold and pay the complainant. The complainant used to send the ornaments through her employee, Abdul Wasid, in Mumbai, who in turn used to hand it over to Khan.
Last December, she sent 3.5kg ornaments worth Rs1.8 crore through Wasid to Khan. On December 5, Khan went to the hotel in Sakinaka where Wasid was staying and collected the ornaments. Khan claimed that while going home someone snatched the bag.
