The Kalyan police have arrested a 38-year-old woman for allegedly duping several people claiming herself to be the owner of a shipyard that she had leased. She is also accused of cheating a few students on the promise of giving them high-paying jobs at the shipyard. The police said the woman, Mansi Khandelwal, already faces five cases of cheating.

The police said Khandelwal, a resident of Khadakpada, had rented a shipyard at Ganesh Ghat, Durgadi, from the Maharashtra Maritime Board. She would persuade people to invest in the business but would not return their money. While she was arrested earlier in a Rs 1.25-crore cheating case, she managed to walk out on bail, they said.
