A Bollywood film distributor was allegedly cheated of Rs 2.9 lakh by a cyber fraudster who lured him by gifting him a mobile phone for availing a credit card in the western suburb of Juhu here, police said on Friday.

The matter came to light when film distributor Manmohan Kapur (53) approached the Juhu police station with a complaint earlier this week, an official said.
Kapur was gifted a mobile phone, which was used to gather confidential information related to his bank accounts, he said.
