Women cheated of ₹20 lakh
The Hindu
Modus operandi in both cases was very similar
The police are on the lookout for some men who allegedly cheated women of over ₹20 lakh in separate instances. One of the victims is a 31-year-old working professional who met the accused on a matrimonial website in February this year. He identified himself as Prem Basu from London and claimed that he was planning to relocate to Bengaluru where he wanted to get married and settle down. The two struck up a friendship and discussed their plans for the future. “A few days ago, the woman who lives in Raghavendra Colony, received a message from Prem. He claimed that he had been detained by Customs officials in Delhi for travelling without a COVID-19 negative certificate. He convinced her that he was carrying undeclared cash amounting to ₹2 crore with him and she needed to transfer money for his release,” said a police officer.More Related News
