The Thane Police in Maharashtra have booked an unidentified man for allegedly cheating a bank cashier of Rs 24,000 after seeking to exchange Rs 500 notes with denominations of Rs 200 and Rs 100, a Thane police official said on Thursday, reported the PTI.


The accused came to a cooperative bank on August 14 and told the cashier he would choose the Rs 500 notes of his choice, after which the latter handed him a bundle of 96 notes totalling Rs 48,000, the Kasarwadavali police station official told the PTI.


"The accused managed to walk away with 48 notes of Rs 500 denomination even before the cashier could realise the trick. We have registered a case and efforts are on to nab the accused, who is in his mid-thirties," the official said.


Meanwhile, in an another incident in Thane, the police have registered a case against a couple owning a trading firm for allegedly cheating a chemical supplier to the tune of Rs 18.08 crore, officials said on Wednesday, reported the PTI.

The victim's firm supplied chemicals to the accused's company between January and June 2020, but they allegedly failed to make the payment, an official from Naupada police station in Maharashtra's Thane city said quoting the complaint.

Later, the accused issued a cheque which was dishonoured by the bank, the complaint stated.

When the victim threatened to lodge a complaint with the GST department, the accused assured to make the payment soon, but later they allegedly became untraceable, the FIR said.

As per the complaint, the victim was allegedly duped of Rs 18,08,45,931, the police said.

Based on the complaint, the police on Monday registered an FIR against the accused, Jaiprakash Yadav and Kusum Yadav, under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 34 (act done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), the official said.
