A 28-year-old youth has been arrested for allegedly duping a retired sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) of Rs 3.5 lakh on the pretext of getting his son a government job.
The accused, identified as one Amit Kumar, worked as a private teacher. He was apprehended by KN Katju Marg police who recovered a fake appointment letter that had been handed to the son of retired Delhi government SDM, OP Arora. Arora had registered a complaint against Amit Kumar on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and forgery.
‘Amit Kumar assured him that if he were to pay a sum of Rs 5 lakh, he would arrange a job in a nationalised bank for his son. Thereafter, the complainant paid Rs 3.5 lakh through cheque. It was further agreed that the remaining Rs 1.5 lakh would be paid after the son received the appointment letter,’ said additional commissioner of police (outer), Sanjay Kumar.
