Almost after a year's investigation, the Powai police managed to arrest a 25-year-old employee of a top IT company, who cheated his colleague of Rs 3 lakh by trying to lure her into investing in QNet - a multi-level marketing scheme.

However, when the 23-year-old victim refused to put her money in the scheme, the accused hacked into her laptop and retrieved her bank details to siphon off the money. He even took a loan in her name and used her credit card details to cheat her. However, when the cops arrested him from the Hiranandani area on Saturday, he got himself admitted to a hospital for a day claiming that he was suffering from tuberculosis.
