The Chembur Police on Friday said that they arrested a 54-year-old man for allegedly duping 11 people, all farmers from Tamil Nadu on pretext of getting them jobs in the gulf. 

The police said the accused had got in touch with the victims about a month ago and had allegedly given them a job offer. When the victims came to Mumbai from Tamil Nadu and attempted to check-in to the airport, they were told the visas and air tickets they were carrying were fake. Victims realised that they were cheated and rushed to Chembur Police to file an official complaint in the matter.
