Mumbai, Jun 17 (PTI) The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police on Wednesday arrested Purushottam Chavan, husband of an IPS officer, for allegedly duping a Surat-based businessman and others of Rs 7.42 crore.
EOW officials took Chavan, already arrested in another case, in their custody in the evening. He will be produced before a court on Thursday, an official said.
Chavan, married to IPS officer Rashmi Karandikar, allegedly accepted money from the businessman with a false promise of selling plots from `government quota’ at a discounted rate, he said.
He also allegedly promised to help the businessman get contracts for supplying T-shirts to the Maharashtra Police Academy, the official said.
Last month, the EOW had arrested Chavan in a similar case where he is accused of duping several persons of Rs 24.78 crore by promising to sell government quota flats in Mumbai, Thane, and Pune at concessional rates. PTI DC KRK
