Ghatkopar police are on the lookout for three unidentified men who duped a small-time sweetshop owner of R1.83 lakh by fooling her into believing that she had won a Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) lottery. They told the victim that her cellphone number was selected through a lucky draw and that she had won Rs 25 lakh.

However, to claim the prize, she would have to pay a certain amount to complete the formalities. According to the officials, Purvi Yogesh Trivedi (35) received the first con call on July 3, 2014. And in a span of three months, the trio duped her of Rs 1.83 lakh.
