Korea: A person accused of duping a retired teacher of Rs 7 lakh on the pretext of levelling his land has been arrested from Meerut by Chhattisgarh's Korea Police on Sunday.
Police said the accused deceived Amir Sai, the victim, by promising to level his land at the cheapest rate. To gain Sai's trust, the accused levelled some land with a JCB and told Sai of levelling all his lands in a similar way. He made Sai withdraw Rs 7 lakh from his account and decamped with the money.
A disheartened Sai complained to the police about the incident and the accused was located in Meerut from his mobile's location. Immediately, a police team headed for Meerut. The kingpin, Adil, was nabbed from the Bhawanpur Police Station area of Meerut along with Rs 71,800 cash and a mobile phone. During interrogation, he revealed to the police the information about other members of the gang. But by the time police reached, they fled.
