A 20-year old youth was duped to the tune of Rs20,000 by using fake notes of Rs2 lakh at Bank of India Indrapuri under Piplani police station area on Thursday.
According to the police, the victim Pritam Singh Baghel had gone to Sehore for some work and provided a cheque of Rs20,000 to his son Akash for withdrawal but after the withdrawal at the bank he was duped by two miscreants who escaped with the money.
Akash searched for the miscreant but failed and later informed his father who after his return lodged a complaint with Piplani police.
In his complaint the victim claimed that when his son Akash went to withdraw money from his Bank of India branch at Indrapuri two miscreants approached him after he withdrew money and asked him to fill form and while he was busy in filling form they offered him to hold the cash and provided him with stacks of currency notes of denomination of Rs 1000 and escaped. Akash after filing the form searched for the two but failed to find them and informed the bank staff and family members.
