Bengaluru, Sept 20: In a fresh case of online matrimonial fraud, a 45-year-old man from Karnataka’s Chikkaballapura has lost Rs 33 lakh to his dream girl whom he had met on a matrimonial site.
A helpless R K Muniraja, an electrician by profession, has now approached police seeking justice after his dream of leading a blissful, married life with newfound girlfriend from Italy came crashing down.
Muniraja’s story started after he divorced his wife and registered himself on a matrimonial website.
Masters in sociology, Muniraja met Daksha Patel J online on August 31. After frequent chatting, she expressed interest in him and said she wanted to marry him.
She claimed she’s rich, but had been denied the kind of love he showered on her. She told him she would convince her parents about the marriage and transfer Rs 1.5 crore to his account before relocating to India.
On September 8, she told him she was heading to India with Rs 1.5 crore in foreign currency. Later, she called him and said she has been detained at Delhi airport by customs officials for carrying a huge amount of cash.
She told Muniraja she needed to pay the customs officials to receive a clearance certificate for the foreign currency and sought money in Indian rupees from him.
