The Goregaon police have filed a case of cheating against unknown persons for duping a 60-year-old woman of about Rs 23 lakh. While a man claiming to be from a reputed bank cheated her of Rs 3.7 lakh by selling her fake mediclaim policies, a woman duped her of R19.23 lakh by claiming to an employee of the insurance regulatory body of India.

The victim of the fraud works as a senior assistant manager at a government-run petroleum company. She looks after her octogenarian parents who are bed-ridden and was looking for a mediclaim policy to take care of the expenses when one Vikas Chavhan called her in April 2016.
