Travel scamster Mayuresh Wagh was arrested in Jalgaon for cheating five people of ₹4.48 lakh through fake tour packages to Dubai, Nepal, and more. Police registered a case and launched further investigation.
Jalgaon | July 30, 2025: Police have arrested Mayuresh Namdev Wagh (28), a resident of Radhakrishnanagar, Jalgaon, and the founder of the travel company Shaurya Yatra, for allegedly duping citizens of lakhs of rupees under the pretense of offering low-cost domestic and international tour packages. A case of cheating has been registered against him at Laxmipuri Police Station.
According to the police, Wagh opened an office in Ford Corner, Laxmipuri in early 2024, where he promoted budget travel packages to destinations like Dubai, Nepal, Kerala, and Chardham. Many people were drawn in by his persuasive sales pitch and paid him advance amounts for the trips. However, in May 2024, Wagh suddenly shut down the office and disappeared, leaving the victims stunned.
Mahesh Manohar Panhalkar (61), a resident of Laxmipuri, filed a police complaint after Wagh took ₹2.32 lakh from him and his family for a Dubai trip. Narendra Madhav Kulkarni was cheated of ₹1.41 lakh for Dubai, Nepal, and Chardham tours, while Suresh Rajaram Desai lost ₹38,500 for a Nepal package. Additionally, Rajendra Raghunath Velhal was defrauded of ₹23,400 for a Kerala trip, and Vishwanath Prahlad Gulwani lost ₹34,000 for a Chardham tour.
In total, Wagh is accused of cheating five individuals of ₹4.48 lakh. After months of being on the run, he was finally tracked down and arrested. Police are continuing the investigation to identify if more people were defrauded and whether others were involved in the scam.
