Two persons were booked in Nagpur for allegedly duping a businessman of Rs 54 lakh on the pretext of selling N95 masks at cheap rates, a police official said on Sunday.

Mohammad Jamluddin Osar and his manager Farida Binte sent mails to complainant Antarpreet Singh Gotra (31) that their firm could supply N95 masks at cheap rates and asked the Nagpur-based businessman to place a minimum order of Rs 54 lakh, which he did, a Pachpaoli police station official said.
