The Bangur Nagar police have arrested Hina Ramakant Sharma, a woman accused of allegedly cheating a writer and spiritual speaker under the guise of offering electronic goods at discounted prices in 2022.  Sharma, who worked as a manager in the writer’s office, was apprehended last week in Delhi by the Bangur Nagar police. She was brought to Mumbai on transit remand and remanded to judicial custody on March 30. According to police sources, Sharma is the same individual who defrauded Bollywood celebrity Prince Narula in 2020.

Her recent arrest pertained to a cheating case registered with the Bangur Nagar police in 2022. The complainant—a woman who creates motivational talk videos uploaded on social media—entrusted Sharma with editing and uploading the videos. When the writer’s laptop broke down, Hina claimed that her friend in Ambernath could provide a replacement, along with other items such as a watch and a cell phone, at discounted rates. She also promised other items at a 15-20 per cent discount. In doing so, Sharma managed to swindle Rs 3.7 lakh from her to purchase the items.
