2 Dec
Summary
- A 76-year-old man was tricked into giving Rs 1.5 lakh for a black magic money-making scheme.
- The accused promised to make it rain money through supernatural means.
- Fake currency notes were given to the victim as proof of the 'magic'.
Santacruz police have registered a case against three men for defrauding a 76-year-old senior citizen of Rs 1.5 lakh. The elderly victim, MD Mangi, was facing severe financial strain due to his wife's ongoing medical treatment. He had mortgaged assets to cover her expenses.
The accused, aware of his predicament, approached him with a false promise of solving his financial woes through supernatural means, specifically black magic that could allegedly make money rain. They convinced him to arrange Rs 1.5 lakh for this purpose.
Upon receiving the money, the conmen gave Mangi a bag containing fake notes, claiming it was double the amount he had provided. They then fled to Gujarat. Mangi discovered the fraud when he found only play notes in the bag. Two suspects have been apprehended, and efforts are underway to locate the third individual.
