A 60-year-old woman and her daughter were booked on Thursday by Naupada police in Thane for allegedly cheating at least half a dozen unemployed youths to the tune of Rs 37.85 lakh, an officer said. A case against the two women - Jayashree Mohite and her 34-year-old daughter Megha Kadam - was registered under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 506 (criminal intimidation) and others, police sub inspector K S Bagdane of Naupada police station said.
"As part of their strategy, the accused approached around half a dozen people promising to give placement to them in Canara Bank and took money from them from time to time between 2011 and 2013.
