The Wadala TT cops have arrested a 25-year-old from JJ Marg for allegedly cheating an industrialist of four lakh rupees on the pretext of providing surgical masks. The industrialist, who runs a business of exporting uniforms for workers, had received the inquiries for masks from Gulf countries.

Hoping to make business, she scouted for companies that produce masks and found one from Odisha. An order for 1.60 lakh masks was placed and Rs 4 lakh was transferred. It's when the masks did not arrive, that she realised she had been duped.
