PUNE: Twelve women from a self-help group in Kothrud were cheated of Rs12 lakh by a resident of Mohammadwadi after he promised he would help them secure the central government's Mudra loans.
The police said that between January 2020 and May 2022, the man collected Rs1 lakh each from the victims - who belong to lower-income groups, on the pretext of legal work and processing charges. One of the victims, a 40-year-old woman, has lodged a police complaint.
