Police are looking for an imposter who cashed in on people's sentiments over the Galwan valley skirmish, and duped a Sion resident of nearly Rs 99,997 last week by pretending to purchase thousands of safety eyeglasses to donate to the Army personnel.

'For donation to jawans'
Nimit Kamdar, 22, works with his father at their optical shop in Masjid Bunder, and has been using IndiaMart mobile app for his business. On June 28, he received a text on the app from one Anand Singh, who claimed to be an Army officer, and said he wanted 4,000 safety eyeglasses.
