Apart from this complainant, these cheats have also duped several other female victims belonging to various other districts of India; their details are being gathered to ensuring justice in the matter, police said on Tuesday.
The arrested accused have been found to be experts in creating fake Facebook profiles of rich, smart and suave Europeans an American nationals, sending out friend requests to gullible Indian ladies, preferably single women, who are selected by extensive browsing.
According to the victim, she had received a friend request on her Facebook account from one Lewis Williams, allegedly a resident of London, UK.
“Gradually, they became close virtual friends and used to have voice calls and chats over WhatsApp and Viber. Williams was using a UK phone number for interacting with the complainant.

He booked flight tickets for London – Delhi via Dubai and further from Delhi to Kolkata to meet the complainant,” she told police.
