Promised marriage and gifts from abroad, woman loses ₹9 lakh to cyber fraudster

Promising to marry her and send her gifts from abroad, a cyber fraudster duped a 37-year-old Panchkula resident of ₹9 lakh.

The victim, who resides in Sector 15 and works with a private firm, said that a man named Aman used to follow her on Instagram. He told her that he lived in London and was an employee of the Anglo-Eastern Navy.

After chatting with her for five to six months over Instagram and WhatsApp, the man told her he would marry her as soon as he returns to India.
