Kaup, Nov 10: Haseena from Uchila Muloor near here, who was trying to adopt a girl child from England, has been cheated to the extent of Rs 9 lac.

Haseena says that when she was searching for adopting a child through the internet, she got information that a female child from England was ready to be given for adoption as per the law in force there. As per the information she got on the internet, she furnished address, telephone number etc. She got a call on October 25, saying that all the items needed for the child would be sent by consignment from England. Towards this, the lady was asked to deposit Rs 40,000.

Haseena says that accordingly, on October 26, she remitted Rs 40,000 to the Indian Bank account of Krishnakumar through Syndicate Bank's Kaup branch as instructed.

Thereafter, she received calls from different persons who identified themselves as Gagan Garg, Ramanpreeth Kaur, Jasmeen Sultan, Dokeno Paav, Jaharul Haq, and Aerone Gaj Ling, asking her to remit money to release the parcel which also contains pound sterling failing which case would be registered against Haseena. The complainant said she lost Rs 9 lac in total as a result.

In a complaint filed in the town police station here, Haseena said she was defrauded to the tune of Rs 9 lac which was transferred online, and she did neither receive the child nor the parcel as promised.
