A 44-year-old man has been arrested by the Nagpada police for allegedly duping a widow out of Rs 1.20crore. The accused has been identified as Arif Mohammad Yusuf Anjarwala.

The police said that in 2014, the woman had sold her flat for Rs 2 crore and bought another flat in Nagpada, where she moved in along with her daughter. Sources revealed that the woman came in contact with Arif, a relative of the person to whom she had sold her first house. Arif became close friends with her and even promised to marry her. He then borrowed Rs 30 lakh to start a business. Sometime later, he asked for another Rs 12 lakh.
