On the pretext of increasing the limit to Rs 5 lakh in credit card of a private bank, a businessman was duped to the tune of Rs 44,000 at Raisen Road under Ashoka Garden police station area on Thursday.
The victim Anil Jain who owns a shop at Raisen road provided documents to a man on Thursday after the man offered that he could increase the limit of his credit card with the ICICI bank.
Victim claimed that on February 17 the miscreant came and introduced himself as Mohan Choudhary who works as an agent with ICICI bank and asked for the documents. After checking the required documents he took a cheque from the victim and assured that the limit would be increased to Rs 5 lakh.
Jain owns a shop of building material and had a credit card of ICICI bank. He wanted to increase the limit of the credit card and had enquired regarding the same with the bank earlier. It is possible that while he enquired the details for the increasing of the credit card limit someone might have got the information and using this information cheated the victim.
On Friday the victim received message of deduction of Rs 44,000 from his ICICI bank account after which the issue of fraud surfaced. Images of the miscreant have been captured in the CCCTV cameras installed at the victim’s shop and could help in the search of the accused.
The police have started investigation and claimed that after the preliminary investigation case would be registered against the miscreant.
