Bhopal, May 6:
A Nigerian national had been arrested by the cyber cell of the Madhya Pradesh Police in Mumbai on charges of cheating a person each in Morena and Bhopal by telling them they ‘won’ a UK on-line lottery.
The accused Garwin Brown was arrested in Mumbai yesterday and presented in the court here today. The court sent the accused for a three-day police remand, a state police spokesperson said.
Brown had lured Morena resident Shailendra Singh Rathore by telling him that he had won a UK Lottery while taking more than Rs 4 lakh from him. This apart, the accused also collected Rs 2.45 lakh from a Bhopal resident Akhil.
The accused sent an e-mail to Mr Rathore stating that he had won a Rs 7 lakh British Pound lottery of the MSN Yahoo Award and Corporation and some persons would contact him shortly.
After sending some of the e-mails, the accused got Rathore to deposit Rs 25,000 as ‘Customs Clearance.’ Thereafter a demand was made to deposit a fee of Rs 1.37 lakh and another fee of Rs 2.60 lakh for receiving an ‘Anti Terrorism Certificate’ which Rathore deposited, the spokesperson said.
Later, Rathore was informed that the winner amount is about to be deposited into his account so he must deposit another Rs 2.60 lakh.
While getting suspicious, Rathore contacted the concerned bank and was informed of the fraud. The complaint was lodged by him on July 24 last year at the cyber cell. The cyber cell made communication with the accused and tracked his location as ‘Char Bangla’ Andheri (West).
Later, a police team from Bhopal reached Mumbai and arrested him.
