A street fight helped the Bangur Nagar police catch two fraudsters, part of a gang that duped people by offering them loans. The incident took place outside Swami Ayyappa Temple on Thursday when a Pune-based businessman and two others were fighting over a demand draft. Police learnt that a group of men, including mastermind Vishwasnath Shukla, Arunendra Singh, Manish Shah, Rajesh Gupta and Sharad Ajit Lala, were trying to dupe businessman Hanumant Chauhan of Rs 15 lakh by promising a loan of Rs 120 crore.

Chauhan and his friend were looking to expand their business, but were unable to get a loan. On November 11, Chauhan's acquaintances told him that a man in Mumbai, Shah, could help them. They reached Mumbai and met three of the gang in Juhu. One of them introduced himself as a doctor and told Chauhan that he could get him the loan through a trade profit fund. He showed them the hospital's bank statements to gain their trust.
