A 40-year-old former professor has been arrested for allegedly duping at least a dozen students with the promise of getting them admission in post-graduate courses at top south Mumbai colleges. Accused Sushil Mishra used to work at a SoBo college but lost his job after the lockdown last year. He has allegedly collected up to Rs 9 lakh from his victims, the police said.

The cyber cell of the north region tracked down Mishra, a Jogeshwari resident, who had gone underground for the past few days.
