The Mulund police arrested a woman for allegedly cheating 24 people of Rs 2 crore to rescue her son from debt he acquired while gambling at a casino in Dubai. Twenty-four people filed a complaint with the Mulund police against a woman identified as Rupal Pandya, who was later arrested.

Pandya’s son Ishan had moved to Dubai after his wedding, and had lost R2 crore at a casino there. To help him repay the debt, Ishan’s mother, who runs a beauty parlour, borrowed money from several acquaintances, on the assurance that she would pay a high rate of interest.
