The Tulinj police have arrested a 61-year-old real estate agent for cheating unsuspecting migrants, desperate to leave the city. The accused, identified as Satyanarayan Sharma, allegedly assured migrants that he'd put them on a train leaving for Uttar Pradesh, in return for a hefty sum. The police have been receiving complaints from various people about touts, who are brazenly demanding money from migrants, who want to reach their hometowns. Sharma has been caught on a mobile clip, while taking R6,000 from a migrant.

In the 6.44-minute-long clip, Sharma is heard telling the migrants to carry their Aadhar card. He also says they won't have to stand in a long queue, and that he'll be giving them a token, after which they will take a bus from Nalasopara to Vasai station, from where he will put them on the train. A migrant worker is then seen paying the agent R6,000 for two tickets.
