The accused approached the 56-year-old victim and asked him and his son to invest in a club business promising 25 per cent partnership and lucrative returns, the official from APMC police station told PTI.
They then signed an MoU and the victim made a payment of Rs 50 lakh to the accused, he said.

The accused, Jatin Sureshbhai Mehta, arrested from suburban Kandivali on Tuesday, allegedly cheated the government of more than Rs 1.95 crore by not paying various taxes, like the security transaction tax, capital gains tax, state government stamp duty charges, SEBI turnover fees and stock exchange turnover revenue, the police official told PTI.
