A couple from Navi Mumbai has been implicated in a scheme where they allegedly swindled a man out of Rs 12 lakh. The incident involved the couple's promise to use their connections to secure a government job for the man's daughter, a commitment they never fulfilled. This case has been officially registered by the police under sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita.

The accused, identified as Neelkant Subash Gosavi, 35, and his wife, Priya, allegedly gained the trust of the victim over the span of several months, persuading him of their influence within governmental circles, specifically the Income Tax department.
