Impostors who claimed to be “police officers” looted around Rs 2 lakh from an Omani family that had arrived in Mumbai for medical treatment, late on Friday night. A case of extortion and impersonation was filed against four unknown persons, who had duped the family claiming they were carrying hash in their bag.
