Pravin Prajapati, the accused

The demonetisation drive has helped cops net a wanted scamster. A 23-year-old who had cheated a 15-year-old of Rs 1.95 lakh in September was held yesterday, after cops contacted him through his Facebook profile, posing as a girl who wanted to exchange her defunct currency. The arrested accused is Pravin Prajapati who goes by the alias Sunny and ‘Rocky Editzz’ on Facebook, and has several active fake profiles.
