Taking advantage of the greed of a businessman to make millions of dollars, two African nationals lured him with stories of links with the President of Cameroon and cheated him of Rs 80 lakh.
Kamleu and Mwanza met the construction equipment manufacturer Aditya Bondwal during the Indo-Africa Summit through a man, Rozer. It was through one OP Pandey that Rozer came in contact with the businessman.
Taking Aditya into confidence, Rozer claimed to be family members of the right hand of the President of Cameroon, who was in jail since 2012. As all his ancestral cash was blocked, he had no money in hand.
The next time he met he claimed that he has one million dollars which is covered in black ink. This he had done in order to befool the customs at the airport. To get back the original white dollar, Rozer claimed that they need high quality ink and powder, which costs huge money. To help in cleaning the black dollar bills, Rozer introduced Aditya to Mwanza and Kamleu who claimed to be experts in cleaning black dollar.
Falling into the trap set by the African nationals, the complainant agreed to pay Rs 30 lakh. To get better ink and powder, the duo asked for Rs 50 lakh from the businessman. In total, Aditya was cheated of Rs 80 lakh. Finally sense prevailed and he realised that he is being conned. He approached the police. The accused kept asking for more money to do the cleaning task.
