A 51-year-old woman from Maharashtra's Thane district has been booked for allegedly duping a man of Rs 10 lakh on the pretext of getting him a job in the local civic body, police said on Monday.
The complainant, Roopesh Verma (45), told the police that the accused, Shital Khade, promised to get him appointed as a clerk in the Thane Municipal Corporation and also a tender for road widening work.
He alleged that the woman took Rs 10 lakh from him on this pretext between November 2017 and February 2018, Naupada police station's sub-inspector Ramesh Patil said.
