Ambala, August 30

A businessman has allegedly been duped of Rs90 lakh on the pretext of providing a rare cancer treatment medicine in Ambala.

The police have registered a case against the suspect, Rupesh, under Sections 406 and 420 of the IPC at the Shahzadpur police station.

Sukhdev Singh, a resident of Naraingarh, in his complaint to the police, stated that he runs a factory in Himachal Pradesh and Rupesh used to work for him in the past. One day, Rupesh, along with four persons, reached his factory and informed him that they prepare rare and expensive cancer treatment drug. Their medicine can treat any type of cancer.

The complainant claimed that Rupesh told him that if he (complainant) spends Rs50 lakh, then he could earn up to Rs3 crore. Since Rupesh worked in his firm earlier, he got convinced and gave them Rs90 lakh in instalments. Later, they asked him to reach MDM Palace where they provided him a box in which they had kept a two-headed snake. He (Sukhdev) got scared. In the meantime, the accused managed to flee with the money.

“When I contacted them, they threatened me of dire consequences. They duped me on the pretext of providing rare cancer

cure medicine. I later came to know that they have cheated several people in a similar manner,” said Sukhdev.
