Two men cheated a 28-year-old man of Rs 1.18 lakh by promising to give him US dollars at a lower price but instead giving him washing soap wrapped in a bundle of newspapers.
The complainant, who is a driver, came in contact with the suspects while having tea near a hospital in Khadki, police said. The duo promised to sell him US dollars. On Thursday, after accepting a cash payment of Rs 1,18,500 from the complainant, the duo gave him soap wrapped in a newspaper bundle.
The complainant then approached the police, who lodged an FIR.
The police have started an investigation and are searching for the suspects.
