Worli police on Thursday said they arrested a 25-year-old local resident on Wednesday night for forging FIRs, police documents and signature of a senior inspector to dupe his friend of lakhs of rupees. The accused, Aditya Rajnikant Waghela, used the forged documents to make up false charge of rape and suicide abetment against Umesh Nate.

To save his reputation and to avoid arrest, Nate took out bank loans, surrendered his LIC policies and sold his flat. He paid the money to Waghela for anticipatory bail and to settle the case.
