Police caught three men from Zimbabwe who cheated an Indian businessman out of huge amounts of money using computers. The suspects are Tinashe Gadzikwa Praise who is 22 years old, Malvern Matumgamire who is 25, and Nyamhunga Lenon Kudakwashe who is 23. Officers from Kolkata worked with Punjab police to arrest them during an early morning raid. The criminals took more than 1.1 crore rupees from their victim through clever tricks. They were caught at a rented apartment in Kharar near Mohali city.
The three men pretended they worked for a famous British medicine company and the World Health Organization. They told lies about selling kola nuts which doctors use to treat mental health problems. Their target was Sandip Guha, a 53-year-old medicine company worker from Kolkata. The fraudsters made fake paperwork and used phone numbers that looked like they came from Britain. They even mailed small amounts of kola nuts to make their business seem real.
Guha believed their story and sent money to different bank accounts across India through electronic transfers. Police found six phones, one computer, and many fake documents when they searched the apartment. The investigation started after Guha complained to authorities in May about losing his money. Officers think these criminals might have cheated other people using similar tricks. They plan to question the suspects further and expect to make more arrests soon.
