Rajasthan: Cyber crooks cheat man of Rs 95,000 for medicines

JAIPUR: A man from Ajmer who was attempting to get medicines for his mother suffering from mucormycosis was cheated of Rs 95,000 by cyber frauds on the pretext of providing him the required medicines.
According to Mansarover police, Satish Beri, a native of Dhola Bhatta area in Ajmer, approached them on Friday evening and lodged an FIR of cheating against unknown persons.
“The victim stated that his mother is undergoing treatment for mucormycosis at a private hospital in Mansarover area. The doctors advised him to arrange for some medicines necessary for the treatment. Thus, the victim after failing to get medicines started looking for them online,” said an investigating officer. After surfing the internet, the victim found a few numbers and contacted them. “He came to know about a firm that promised him to send the required medicines. The caller asked him to transfer Rs 95,000 which he did. Thereafter when he failed to get medicines he kept calling up the number from which he was advised to send the money, but the number remained switched off.”
