<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/dubai-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">A Dubai-based company</a> was cheated of about Rs 1. 7 crore by a duo and police has registered a case against a duo, an official of Palghar police said on Thursday.
The case was registered by the Tulinj police on a complaint by the Dubai-based company's representative, who is based in Maharashra's Palghar district, he said.
The complainant's company had in January 2022 placed an order with a firm from Delhi to buy electrical fittings worth about Rs 5 crore. It also made an initial payment of nearly Rs 1.96 crore, the complainant said.
While the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/delhi-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Delhi-based company</a> dispatched goods worth Rs 26.5 lakh to the Dubai-based company, the buyer claimed that they did not meet the specified standards.
Subsequently, the seller did not deliver the remaining materials worth nearly Rs 1.7 crore despite having received the payment, prompting the buyer to lodge a complaint.
Police in Palghar's Tulinj on Tuesday booked Vikas Tanwar and Pushpa Tanwar, owners of the Delhi firm, for cheating the buyer of nearly Rs 1.7 crore, the official said.
Meanwhile, the cyber cell of Maharashtra Police on Thursday registered a case against the operator of a YouTube channel and others for allegedly displaying "Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)" involving mothers and their minor children.
