A Vakola resident who deals in electronic accessory repairs and laptop sales was allegedly duped out of approximately Rs 1.9 lakh by a cyber fraudster posing as a military officer. The fraudster ordered 20 computer routers for the Kalina Military Camp and deceived the businessman under the pretext of making a gate pass.

According to police sources, Murtuza A. Limbdiwala, a resident of Maskan CHS Ltd in Saifi Park, Kalina, deals in electronic accessory sales and laptop repairs. Last month, he received a call from a person pretending to be a senior-grade officer named Kunal Chaudhary from the Indian Army. The caller inquired about purchasing 20 computer routers for the Kalina Military Camp at a cost of approximately Rs 64,000.
