A young man living in Kandivali area of Mumbai came to know that Vishal Shah, who claimed to be the official seller of Falguni Pathak’s program in Borivali (West), was giving passes at a cheap price.

The victim youth and his friends agreed to buy the pass and he also asked other friends. Ultimately 156 people including the complainant agreed to buy the pass. The complainant and his two friends collected money from everyone.
Cheating in the name of giving pass at low price
Shah asked all three to reach Borivali New Link Road. There one of Shah’s men was going to take the money and give him the pass. As per Shah’s instructions, the three youths reached there and handed over the money to a person.
