Thane, May 13 (PTI) Police have registered a case against three individuals for allegedly cheating a woman cloth trader of nearly Rs 45 lakh in Thane district of Maharashtra, an official said on Wednesday.
The accused gained the trader’s confidence and purchased raw materials valued at Rs 87,67,492 from her company at Kalyan over the last few months.
They initially paid Rs 42,72,834 to her. However, when she demanded the remaining balance of Rs 44,94,658, the accused allegedly gave evasive and false answers and refused to clear the dues, an official from Khadakpada police station said.
