A Kolkata-based fraudster was arrested last Saturday for allegedly cheating a 54-year-old chartered accountant in Powai was Rs 3.2 lakh in the pretext of helping him find a life-partner through an online dating site. The CA, who was divorced twice, had filed the fraud case against the accused, identified as Arnab Singh alias Neel Roy Baramali (29) in May 2019, Indian Express reported.

In his complaint to the police, the CA had said that he came across the dating site, locanto.com, in April 2019, while searching for a life-partner. After registering himself and finding many contact numbers on the website, he tried calling on the numbers but got no response. Then on the morning of April 9, at around 10 am, the man received a call from a woman who identified herself as Jenny and asked him about the women he prefers to date. The complainant responded saying that he prefers a Bengali woman and Jenny asked him for his Aadhar card number.
