Conmen cheat prospective groom in Delhi
NEW
DELHI: If you are a suitor planning to meet your dream woman, here's
some sobering news. A 38-year-old office executive from Najafgarh,
promised a meeting with his prospective bride, was drugged and robbed of
all his belongings in the second such heist in three months.
According to police, Nirmal Chand felt the need to settle down in life
and placed an advertisement in a leading national daily for a
matrimonial alliance in April earlier this year. On June 1, he received a
call on his mobile purportedly from the brother of the prospective
bride. The caller said that they should meet near Shastri Nagar Metro
station on June 6. Chand reached the spot on his motorcycle where he was
introduced to two men.
"The duo said the girl's mother wanted
to meet him and they needed to wait for sometime. They offered him a
cool drink. Chand lost consciousness soon. When he came to the next day,
he found himself in just his underwear. His motorbike, purse and mobile
were missing. It was only on Sunday that a badly shaken Nirmal Chand
gathered the courage to lodge a complaint," said an investigating
officer.
A source from north district said this is the second instance a suitor was tricked in such a manner in the past three months.
Police are now investigating whether the gang has a link with another
that was operational across north India only last year. A 30 year-old
woman was arrested from Delhi in August for allegedly duping several men
in Rajasthan whom she 'married' before disappearing with the gold and other valuables. Five others who helped her have also been arrested.
According to police, the woman, identified as Annu Kumari, is a
resident of Delhi. An FIR had been registered against her at Buhana in
Jhunjhunu district by one Omprakash, who was one of her victims. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Thieves-sell-marriage-dream/articleshow/20640048.cms?intenttarget=no
