An engineer has been arrested for allegedly defrauding a businessman out of Rs 20 lakh by promising him a contract with the Rajasthani government.
In January of this year, Gondia resident and former student of a prominent institution Deepak Amkar contacted Abhijeet Ballewar, whose company provides furniture, computer parts, and other spares to numerous businesses.
“He told Ballewar they could bid for Rajasthan government tenders jointly. After Ballewar transferred Rs 20 lakh into Amkar’s account, the latter sent him fake tender documents,” the Sonegaon police station official said. By March, Ballewar knew he was duped and a case under Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act for cheating and other offences was registered against Amkar, he said
