In a few cases he has been successful in duping the manager as in Indian Bank, where a case has been registered with the Shivaji Park police station. The bank managers who escaped his con act haven’t registered any complaint.”
Bhupendra Kumar Maniram (52) the manager of the State Bank of Patiala who had been conned, had alleged in his complaint that the accused had hypnotised him and smooth-talked him into handing over Rs 93,000.
