A 25-year-old photographer from Ahmedabad was allegedly duped by a man in Mumbai who fled with his camera under the pretext of testing it at an electronics showroom.

According to police, the victim, Tayyab Abdul Samad Ansari, a resident of Ahmedabad, had posted an advertisement on Facebook on November 26, stating that he wished to sell his camera. The next day, a person identifying himself as Amit contacted him via WhatsApp, expressing interest in purchasing the device. He called Ansari to Mumbai for the deal.
