A 50-year-old handicap identified as Harendra Kumar was arrested for cheating another handicap family for Rs one lakh and sixty-three thousand.
According to the Senior inspector of Dadar GRP, Kumar met the victim, Ramesh Varma who is a handicap as he is unable to hear properly. His 5-year-old daughter became handicapped because of Thalassemia and his wife is suffering from a back problem. Kumar met Varma at Dadar railway station which is when they started talking to each other. Kumar promised Varma that he would help him to get a handicap certificate for him and his family so they could receive benefits from the government which are reserved for the category. He then asked him for Rs 10,000.
He also promised Varma a flat in MHADA which would be on his daughter's name for which he asked another Rs 1 lakh and twenty-five thousand. Varma paid him the amount without any hesitation. Kumar then deposited the amount into his bank account but did not stop there and asked Varma to give him another Rs 5000 for his daughter’s school admission.
