MUMBAI: A 38-year-old man was arrested by railway police for duping people at the passenger reservation centre in Borivli.
Ajay Lalwani would claim that he was a ticketing agent and could get confirmed seats for passengers for a small commission. He would ask for the ticket cost as well as commission from people.
“In the Borivli case reported on September 23, Lalwani had swindled Rs 8,500 from eight passengers,” said senior inspector Anil Kadam.
On Lalwani’s arrest on Thursday, the police looked up his antecedents. It turned out that he had committed similar offences at Andheri station, Kurla station and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus.
Lalwani is a native of Madhya Pradesh and currently lives at Masjid Bunder. He has been booked on charges of cheating under the Indian Penal Code.
