An unidentified person was booked for allegedly duping former Maharashtra minister Babanrao Gholap to the tune of Rs 1.33 lakh after promising him special cell number and iphone, police said today.
The accused demanded Rs 1.33 lakh from Gholap in between January 1 to November 20 last year and promised him to provide a special mobile number and iphone, said Sub-Inspector Chandrakant Gaikwad of Nashik Road police station.
Gholap deposited the said amount in the bank account, details of which were given by the accused. However, as Gholap did not receive any special cell number or iphone, he lodged a complaint at the Nashik Road police station, the officer added.
A case under section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code was registered last night, Gaikwad said, adding a probe was on.
