A retired naval commander has been booked for cheating a person by &lsquo;offering&rsquo; him a job offer as an unskilled labourer at the naval dockyard. The Cuffe Parade police told <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/retired-naval-commander-booked-in-rs8-lakh-cheating-case/story-bavSJQ4v6CF79dtfBnxrYO.html" target="_blank">Hindustan Times</a> that the accused, along with his daughter, cheated the man of Rs 8 lakh, back in 2012.
An officer from the Cuffe Parade police station, requesting anonymity, told <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/retired-naval-commander-booked-in-rs8-lakh-cheating-case/story-bavSJQ4v6CF79dtfBnxrYO.html" target="_blank">Hindustan Times</a>, &ldquo;The aspirant Adhinath Kale got a call from the naval dockyard in 2012 and was asked to be present for the selection process.
