The Dindoshi police have arrested four members of a Gujarat-based fraud syndicate that allegedly cheated wholesale traders by posing as genuine bulk buyers, taking delivery of goods worth lakhs of rupees, issuing fake cheques, and then disappearing without making payment.

The arrest came following a complaint filed by a supplier based in the Masjid Bunder area last month. According to the complainant, the accused took the supply of the goods worth Rs 3.24 lakh but never made the payment. He claimed that the accused issued a cheque to him, which bounced.  The supplier further claimed that the accused threatened him with consequences when he demanded payment.
