Mumbai: The VP Road Police have registered a case against Pushpendra Manmal Angara for allegedly defrauding a businessman of ₹2.44 crore by falsely claiming ownership of his company and diverting funds through fake entities.

According to the complaint filed by Ritesh Ramlal Angara (46), a businessman residing near Nanu Bhai Desai Road, the accused, Pushpendra Manmal Angara, residing at Narayan Building, Dubhash Lane, misrepresented himself as the owner of Ritesh’s firm — Kartik Ferromet Pvt.

V. P.
