A 38-year-old man was arrested by the BKC police for allegedly cheating an employee of a brokering firm to the tune of Rs 38 lakh after offering to sell him a brand new Mercedes car. The complainant was given an offer by his company to buy a car of his choice, the cost of which would be incurred by the company.

Through a friend, he approached a Mahim-based car dealership office and the employees of the office offered a discount of Rs1 lakh for a Mercedes car if he and his company paid the full amount in one go.

An officer from BKC police said, "His company gave the dealer a cheque of Rs 38 lakh. Once the money was transferred, the accused along with his accomplices transferred the money into their accounts and did not deliver the car as promised. They also shut down their office and left his calls unanswered.

One of the accused has been arrested and the money is yet to be recovered.
