THE NAVI Mumbai Economic Offence Wing (EOW) Thursday booked a man for allegedly cheating at least three persons on the pretext of selling them a restaurant where he worked. The FIR was filed on the complaint of the owner of Sapphire Bar in Turbhe, where accused Sanjay Metkari (40) used to work as a manager. “Ankush Pandol, owner of the bar, had gone to his village for his daughter’s wedding when Metkari tried to sell the bar to three parties. He even took advance from them. He had access to the bar’s bank account and asked the parties to deposit the money there,” said an officer.
“We think he obtained Rs 90 lakh from various parties. He is absconding,” he added.
