The Mumbai police on Monday arrested two men for allegedly cheating a 27-year-old actor by promising her a role in Hollywood web series and then sending her for an "audition" to the UAE's Sharjah city, where she was later caught in an alleged drugs case, an official said.

Sleuths of Unit 10 of the Mumbai crime branch arrested the accused -- Ravi Bobhate and Anthony Paul -- who also cheated the actor's mother, Pramila Pareira, by promising her hefty commissions in real estate deals in Hyderabad, he said.
