r/navimumbai

On Tuesday (06.10.26) I met a guy at Navi Mumbai International Airport.He would be 21 years old(I assume)He asked me if I could speak English and I said yes.He was from Andhra Pradesh and couldn’t speak Hindi fluently. Then hr told he had a flight that has been cancelled and he needed to book another flight.He shows me he had around 40k in his account but it was a joint account and the otp went to his mom’s phone number and his mom was on a plane and so could not share the otp.

He told me he would repay when his mom would land.The situation and the person seemed genuine and I transferred him Rs 13,600(SC attached).To ensure he is genuine,I took photo of his Aadhar and his college id card.I was also getting late so I went inside the airport.After 5minutes he again called me saying he needed additional Rs 7,500 because his luggage has over weight.Again I transferred him that amount (SC attached).

This all scenario happened in morning around 5AM.My mind could believe that a scammer would be at Navi Mumbai airport at 5 AM in morning and so I trusted him.

Then I called him at 4PM and he said he will send the money in next half an hour.Later he blocked me and now I cannot reach him.

However I have his Aadhar and college id(could be fake as well).I am someone who helps people frequently and this guy has made me now re think this decision.Just help me catch this guy because I still don’t think he is a scammer.

If you really know this guy let me know,want to meet him once again.

Will try to share the incident on various Reddit pages so increase changes of catching this guy.

Edit 1-Mobile Number he used to call me +91 93929 92797.

His Face-Face Link of Scammer

Edit 2-I have filed cyber crime complaint.I went to file FIR but Koparkhairane Police Station Navi Mumbai denied filing FIR(They showed unnecessary Ego and said No).They told be to file cyber complaint and that’s it.Police is a bigger problem to be resolved in our country than scammer itself.

After a couple of months of sub-50 readings on the AQI monitor, we are back to the norm - smelling toxic fumes every night, and AQI levels competing with New Delhi. As always, the municipality is caught napping.

Also, kudos to people who are bursting firecrackers even with this level of pollution. Takes another level of intellect (or lack thereof) to pour soil on an already dug grave.

Jai Hind. Jai Maharashtra.

Many of us can see and smell the pollution in Navimumbai area, especially in the mornings. I’ve raised complaints with NMMC and MPCB, but they are often closed with generic responses stating reading are normal.

Interestingly, during a phone call with NMMC, I was told that nobody else is complaining about the issue apart from me.

If you’re experiencing this too, i urge to raise an official complaint with:
👉 NMMC App: NMMC App
👉 CPGRAMS: CP Grams

Include your location, date/time, photos/videos and AQI readings.

Attached nmmc responses for reference
