Navi Mumbai: The Navi Mumbai police have registered a case against two women for allegedly defrauding a 34-year-old businessman of Rs 77 lakh under the pretext of a garment business investment.

According to a police official, the complaint was registered on Sunday, and the accused are residents of Uran. They have been booked under sections 420 (cheating) and 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the Indian Penal Code. The alleged fraud reportedly took place over a period stretching from October 2023 to April 2025, as per PTI report.
