After reaching Kashimira, Khot and Mishra held the complainant at knifepoint and looted him of ₹7,000 cash and fled with the cash, cigarette packets valued at ₹62,000. Realising that he has been duped and the duo were imposters, the betel nut shop owner approached Dahisar Police and lodged a complaint of kidnapping, theft and cheating.
A police team was formed and they scrutinised the CCTV camera footage of the area where the incident occurred, but had no leads. During the probe, police saw a car’s registration number, which was traced to Khot and Mishra, and acting on tip-off from police informers, it was learnt that the duo were residents of Nalasopara.
Om Totawar, assistant police inspector said that the duo was caught when they were about to dupe another man using the same modus operandi. They were immediately arrested and booked under relevant sections of the IPC and investigation has revealed that they are history sheeters, having cases of cheating registered against them in several police stations.
