The Kasturba Marg Police in Kandvali has filed a case against one Himanshu Mishra for defrauding a UPSC aspirant of R13 lakh by allegedly promising the victim a job in the BMC.

According to the 26-year-old complainant, he came in contact with Mishra in 2024 through his friend Adarsh Yadav, who informed him that his acquaintance could arrange a supervisor’s job in the BMC’s Water Department and demanded money. The complainant initially transferred Rs 65,000 on July 31, 2024, to Yadav’s bank account, who claimed he forwarded the money to Mishra.
