Tilak Nagar cops have arrested a 31-year-old woman for allegedly siphoning off and cheating well-known photographer and videographer Monisha Ajgaonkar. Cops have arrested Nidhi Shetty, who was handling the functioning of Monisha's company, The Photo Diary, since 2012 and found a discrepancy in the accounts. Shetty has been produced in court, which has remanded her to police custody.

Ajgaonkar, who is a much-coveted name in the wedding circles, is also an LGBTQ rights activist. In 2010-11, Ajgaonkar met Shetty through a common friend. The two became thick, and almost like "family", says Ajgaonkar. In September 2017, Shetty was given the task of managing the accounts, finance, clients and data for the firm. It was all good, until Ajgaonkar started getting vague answers whenever she asked Shetty about money.
