According to the report by Hans India, the doctor alleged that he had delivered at least an amount of Rs 42 Lakhs to the woman in several contexts. The doctor realised that he had been cheated on by the woman when he secured no response from her again. The doctor stated that after sending the money to the woman she had stopped contacting him.
Finding no other way to reach her, the doctor then approached the Hyderabad cyber crime police and has registered a case against the woman. The accused woman is still absconding and police are investigating the case in order to nab her.
Previously reported that a Gujarat based doctor had also been duped of rupees 74.5 7 lakhs after falling victim to an online fraud while attempting to buy surgical equipment and mask from a US-based firm on the month of July 2020.
