BHOPAL: Cyber-crime branch on Wednesday registered a case against a fraudster for allegedly posing as a senior accountant in Mantralaya and duping four government nurses to the tune of Rs 4.75 lakh on the pretext of transferring them to their desired locations.
The accused took the money from the victim through online transfer.
Additional DCP Ankit Jaiswal said that complainant Gloria Bhanwar, 36, is posted as a nurse in a hospital in Alirajpur. She stated in her complaint that she knew the accused Rajendra Girnare through her husband since 2004. After many years, when she came in contact with the accused Rajendra through Instagram, the accused lured her in the trap stating that he was posted as a senior accountant in Vallabh Bhawan. Rajendra further told her that he often visits the CM office and also covers transfers and posting cases.
Gloria stated that she wanted to get transferred to Indore. So, she expressed her desire before Rajendra and he assured her that he would get her transferred to Indore within a month. Jaiswal said that Gloria added that Rajendra told her that if any other nurse wanted to get transferred to their desired location, he would help them too.
Gloria shared the information with her colleagues after which three more nurses expressed their desire to get transfers. Subsequently, in June Gloria came to Bhopal and met Rajendra. He demanded money to get the work done. Gloria then transferred Rs 4.75 lakh online through her account into Rajendra’s account but none of them were transferred.When she asked him to refund the money, the accused refused. Realising she was cheated; Gloria reported the matter to cops.
