Khar resident Siddhant Nainendra’s desire to store liquor ahead of election day made him a victim in a Rs 38,000 online cheating case. He came across the fraudster after checking for numbers online of wine shops that delivered alcohol home. He then placed an order worth Rs 9,000 and shared his credit card details as well. Even as he kept waiting for his order to be confirmed, Rs 38,000 got deducted from his card.

Speaking to mid-day, Nainendra, who works with a corporate firm, said, "I was in the middle of some work when all of this happened. I was looking for a liquor shop in Khar online when I came across the fraudster’s details. As I wanted to store liquor ahead of election day, I placed an order of Rs 9,000 with him and shared my credit card details for payment. A few minutes later, I realised that I had been duped. I then approached the Khar police station and registered a complaint in the matter."
