Mahajan shared his observation how he got conned by the women. He said,
I had withdrawn Rs 40,000 from the bank using a cheque. I wanted to withdraw another Rs 10,000 from the ATM. However, when I entered the kiosk, I realised that the machine was non-functional. The women followed me into the kiosk despite me asking them to wait outside.
I didn’t ask them again as there was no one else there and I feared they might level baseless allegations against me if I got into an argument with them.

According to the police official,
A case has been registered. We have identified the suspects and they will be arrested soon. In his statement, Mahajan stated he was followed by two women when he entered the ATM.
This case is important for Men from two angles:
Every common man today fears the threat of a false baseless allegation levelled on them by women
Despite several women being caught for committing most heinous crimes, our society and system still prefers to have Gender Biased Laws in the garb of women empowerment
