This paper had highlighted how the owner of a fitness centre in the western suburbs fled in the beginning of this year after duping more than 200 members of Rs 9.7 lakh. He was arrested recently because of the relentless follow-up by the members he cheated. The co-owner though is still on the run.

The owners collected annual fees from more than 200 people and fled in January this year, after shutting the gym on the pretext of repair work. When the gym remained shut for almost three months, the members filed a police complaint in April. The cops booked the duo for cheating.
