Jodhpur: A woman from Rajasthan's Jodhpur allegedly got duped over Rs 12 lakh in the name of actor Salman Khan. The incident came to light when Santosh Bhati, the victim approached the Jodhpur police with a complaint.
According to Advocate, Praveen Dayal, Bhati was duped by a person named, Sardaar, who cheated her on the pretext of giving a business deal with Bollywood actor Salman Khan. The fraudster asked Rs 11 lakh from Bhati as commission, to sell her five horses to Salman Khan.
"The fraudster said that he has a good relationship with a person, named Nirvay Singh, who delivers horses to Salman Khan and he will sell her all horses for which he will take some amount from Bhati as commission," Dayal said.
"In a first, Bhati gave Sardar Rs 1 lakh. Later, Sardar asked Bhati to transfer Rs 11,60,000 as the total commission and the woman did the same. After this, Sardar asked more money as commission from the woman to sell her horses but the woman refused to pay more," he said.
"When the woman came to know that she was being cheated by Sardar in Salman Khan’s name, she called the middleman and asked him to return the check, but Sardar and his aides did not return the check. Following this, the woman lodged a complaint with the Jodhpur police station and also appealed in Jodhpur district court in this regard. Police have registered a case and launched a manhunt to nab the fraudster," Dayal added.
