In another incident, Navi Mumbai police have arrested two men for dacoity after a woman lost nearly Rs 28 lakh in a scam involving the promise of gold at a cheap rate, an official reported on Friday.
The 36-year-old woman from Nerul filed a complaint stating that one of the arrested men contacted her, offering to sell her half a kilo of gold for Rs 27.81 lakh, below the market price.

The man and an accomplice who was in the car fled the scene, she alleged, the PTI report stated.
According to the report, following various leads, police arrested Rakesh Shivaji Shingte (39), who had contacted the woman, and Roopesh Subash Sapkale (42), both residents of Thane. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the others involved, the official added.
