The MHB Colony police have successfully dismantled a gang, arresting six individuals, including four engineers, involved in a scheme to deceive numerous devotees by selling counterfeit session passes for the popular ‘Rangratri Dandiya Nights’ event, hosted by BJP MLA Sunil Rane and featuring renowned singer Kinjal Dave in Borivli West.

According to police sources, the arrested individuals produced more than 1,000 counterfeit session passes, with over 100 of them being sold to devotees at a price of Rs 3,000 per pass. The scam came to light when ten young individuals, who had acquired fake passes from the gang, attempted to enter the event venue. Suspicion arose among the gatekeepers, who promptly cross-checked the fake passes with authentic ones, revealing discrepancies in the holograms. The organisers were immediately informed.
