Malwani Police on Thursday arrested a man for defrauding a 38-year-old man of Rs 4.74 lakhs by posing as a courier agent and promising to transport his Royal Enfield bike to Chhattisgarh. The accused, Mohit Kanojia, committed the crime on February 12, said Malwani police official. A video recorded by the complainant assisted the police in tracing and arresting the accused.

Wasim Baba Shaikh, a resident of Malwani in Malad, sought to sell his bike and posted an advertisement on the OLX website. A buyer from Chhattisgarh was interested in buying and had made an advance payment of Rs 90,000 too. He had told Shaikh he would make the pending payment after receiving an invoice from the courier company for bike transportation.
