NM Joshi Marg Police have booked a Lower Parel-based couple for allegedly cheating a 52-year-old woman from Worli of Rs 53.8 lakh. Police said the accused exploited a decades-old relationship and allegedly persuaded her to part with money on multiple pretexts, including the purchase of land in Ratnagiri.

A crooked finger spotted in CCTV footage helped Wadala Police identify and arrest a 33-year-old history-sheeter accused of breaking into a grocery shop and stealing cigarette cartons worth Rs 69,000. Police also seized the SUV allegedly used in the burglary and are working to recover the stolen goods.
