He said he has an iron-ore business and has crores of rupees in property and bank accounts." Amit allegedly has 17 different bank accounts which include accounts in the Bank of England, Indian Overseas Bank and the Bank of India among others. He asked Renuka to deposit 35 lakh rupees in one of his accounts so that he could clear his bank tax and clearance of business shipment. "He told Renuka he has 7 crore rupees in his account at the Bank of England. When she checked the account she saw that the money had been frozen by bank authorities for lack of payment of bank tax. He told her once he pays the shipment clearance he will give her the money from his account", said Mr. Ashok.
"I had transferred the money online through NEFT to his account in the Bank of England. We were in touch even during Diwali but since then his mobile is unavailable", said Renuka.

We are looking for technical details and waiting for a couple of confirmations following which we will arrest the duo. We know where they live. In a week a team of for officers including myself will be going to Delhi again", said Mr. Ashok.

"I don't blame the website. e investigation is on; I had gone to Delhi to find out what had happened. May be even the other bank account numbers are fake." "It is a very difficult time. I have a son. I have learnt a very tough lesson from this cruel world." added Renuka. e case has been produced at the Additional Cheif Metropolitan Magistrate's Court following the FIR.
