The Mumbai police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly duping holidayers on the pretext of online booking of villas and bungalows, a police officer said on Wednesday.

Akash Wadhwani, a resident of Ghatkopar, was taken into custody from a hotel in Juhu on Monday. He would often stay put in luxury hotels to evade arrest, the officer said. He faces nearly 20 such cases, said the officer.
