DC in EOW custody in cheating case

Mumbai Police suspect that the fraudulent car loans amount to be in crores. Chhabria was in judicial custody when he was placed under arrest on Saturday and has been remanded to EOW custody till February 5. The EOW registered case based on a complaint by automobile spare parts supplier Indermal Ramani. He has complained that Chhabria did not clear the dues.
