Thane: Two persons have been arrested for allegedly cheating a medical practitioner from Kalyan of Rs 14 lakh under the pretext of "appointing" him as a member of the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST), police said today.
The accused duo are identified as Amrut Borse from Dhule in Maharashtra and Kunal Naresh Sharma from Delhi said Thane police PRO Sukhada Narkar.
She said Borse allegedly approached complainant Dr Ramkrishna Pawar, who runs a medical practice in Khadakpada area of Kalyan in Thane district, in 2016.
"Borse told Pawar that he was impressed by the latter's commendable service for the people and would appoint him as a member of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes through his friend who is a senior officer in Delhi," Narkar said.
Borse then referred Pawar to Sharma saying the latter is a "senior government officer".
"To convince Pawar, Borse and Sharma showed him a letterhead with the Government of India written on it and visiting cards purportedly bearing an official seal with their names," Narkar said.
