The Nehru Nagar police have arrested two men pretending to be cops for trying to rob a senior citizen in Kurla. The accused have been identified as Santosh Pawar, 45, and Nagesh Chaure, 28, both residents of Kopar in Navi Mumbai.

During initial investigation post-arrest, the police learnt that the two men have looted several people in the past in a similar way. On Friday evening, Pawar and Chaure were roaming the streets of Kurla, looking for their targets when they spotted an old woman alone on the road. They approached her and introduced themselves as police personnel.
