UP man arrested for duping bhubaneswar businessman of over ₹11 lakh

Bhubaneswar, June 11: The Commissionerate Police of Bhubaneswar-Cuttack have arrested a 25-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh for allegedly impersonating a sales executive of Jindal Steel Pvt. Ltd. and cheating a Bhubaneswar-based businessman out of more than ₹11 lakh.

The accused, identified as Pradum Kumar of Bhojapur village in Chandauli district, was apprehended on June 9 under the jurisdiction of Sakaldiha police station. He was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate in Chandauli and brought to Bhubaneswar on transit remand.

According to police, the case surfaced after Mahesh Kumar Singh lodged an FIR on May 22 at the Cyber Crime and Economic Offences Police Station in Bhubaneswar. Singh had contacted a toll-free number while searching online for a steel supplier, which led him to Kumar, who posed as a Jindal Steel sales executive.

Kumar reportedly convinced Singh to order TMT steel and sent a forged proforma invoice bearing the Jindal Steel logo and letterhead. Trusting the documents, Singh transferred ₹1.25 lakh via IMPS and another ₹10 lakh via NEFT/RTGS to an Indian Overseas Bank account linked to Kumar.

During the arrest, police seized a mobile phone allegedly used in the fraud. Investigations revealed Kumar and his associates were running a scam by impersonating executives of reputed companies and using fake documents to trick victims into transferring large sums of money.
