According to police, the accused contacted the victim after seeing her profile on a matrimonial website. He introduced himself as a native of the United Kingdom (UK) and befriended her. Over a period, they started chatting with each other and became very friendly. However, the accused after a few days informed the victim woman that he would send a gift as a parcel for her.
The victim believed the words of the accused and within a few days she received a call from another person who posed as customs official and demanded Rs 10.69 lakh towards various charges including customs, GST, Anti-terror fund, Income Tax etc. Believing the words of the person, the woman transferred the amount only to realise after a few days that she had been cheated.
