Mumbai police have filed a complaint against an 18-year-old, Pranav Sureshkumar Yadav, for allegedly swindling four devotees of Rs3,400 by promising them a quick Charan Sparsh darshan of Lalbaugcha Raja during the Ganesh festival. The accused, a resident of Parel, was identified after a complaint from 20-year-old Iqbal Asamohammad Mansuri.
Mansuri and his three friends had paid Yadav to expedite their darshan, but were left waiting for nearly two hours. According to the FIR, the group met Yadav near the Magnum Tower gate, who claimed he could arrange the darshan for Rs850 per person, totaling Rs3,400. After receiving the money and waiting two hours, the men found Yadav later in the crowd.
Yadav allegedly admitted to having no arrangements or passes to facilitate the darshan and refused to return their money. The case has been registered under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
