Hyderabad: A city-based doctor has recently been cheated of Rs 1 crore by a 24-year old fraudster by offering an insurance policy. The Detective Department of the Central Crime Station (CCS) has arrested the miscreant from Haryana.

According to media reports, a 24-year old, identified as Kapil, from Haryana, called up Dr Atiya Parveen Khan and offered her an insurance policy of Rs 1 crore on call in July last year. He bluffed her by claiming a sudden rise in the amount deposited by her.

She trusted his words and deposited the said amount to the fraudster. When the guy suddenly stopped relying to her calls, she became skeptical and then lodged a complaint in the police station.
