Two brothers who owned the Goodwin jewellery showroom chain were taken into custody for allegedly duping hundreds of depositors to the tune of over R25 crore after they surrendered in a court in Thane, a senior official said on Friday.

Hundreds of customers of the Goodwin jewellery chain were left high and dry after the owners shut its outlets in several cities in Maharashtra, including neighbouring Mumbai and Pune, besides Thane, around Diwali this year.
