The epic battle between the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Mahabharat went on for 18 days, but the Mumbai Police were much faster in resolving Yudhishthira’s call for justice.
Gajendra Chauhan, 69 — best known for his role as Yudhishthira in the iconic 1980s TV show, Mahabharat — fell prey to cyber fraud on December 10 after clicking on a Facebook ad for heavily discounted dry fruits. He lost Rs 98,000 after entering an OTP while placing an order for Rs 399 dry fruits.
