Speaking to Pune Pulse, Digambar Suryawanshi, Assistant Police Inspector, Dehu Road, Police Station said, “The IT professional met the woman on a matrimonial site in February 2023. The woman convinced him and promised to marry him. She also asked him to start saving money for their future and used to send him fraud links for investment and trading. The guy trusted her blindly and started investing money through the links. Initially, he got good returns but soon started losing money. The woman also stopped picking up his calls. Hence, upon realizing that he was getting cheated, he immediately complained to Dehu Road police station on Saturday.”
