Mumbai man lured by food discount loses Rs 38,000 to online fraudsters; two held
Mumbai, Nov 12: The Mumbai police have arrested two persons from Ahmedabad for allegedly duping a man of Rs 38,000 on the pretext of offering him a discount on thali meal, an official said on Sunday.
The police on Saturday arrested the accused Faizan Modan (30) and Irfan Malik from Ahmedabad in a case registered against them in June, the official said.
The complainant clicked on a link on a social media platform to avail Rs 50 discount on a thali meal and filled out a form with his credit card details, he said.
Soon after, he allegedly received a message that Rs 38,000 were debited from his bank account and realised that he had been conned, the official said.
The accused have been arrested under section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant provisions of the Information Technology, he added.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
