An Andheri-based couple allegedly lost over Rs 30 lakh after being duped into purchasing what they believed was an affordable SRA flat in Amboli. Police said the fraud was executed over several months using forged documents, fake registration formalities, and access to an actual flat in an SRA building to make the deal appear genuine.

The DN Nagar police arrested Rahul Rajendra Tiwari, one of the main accused, after he had remained absconding for nearly a month. Police said two other accused, Mahesh Tiwari and Mahesh Karande, are still absconding.
