Vadodara businessman arrested for sending plywood instead of medical devices
A woman in Mumbai ordered some special medical machines from a company in Vadodara.
She paid a lot of money, including taking a loan.
But instead of the machines, she received boxes with just plywood and cardboard.
The man who sold them, Dr. Nishant Mehta, also tried to trick her by saying he sent the money back, but it was all fake.
The woman went to the police, and they arrested Dr. Mehta.
He had to go to court and was kept in police custody for three days.
Priti Pawar ordered medical devices from Nexorth Orthopedic Pvt Ltd in Vadodara.
She paid Rs 16 lakh, including an advance and a bank loan.
