Chimganj Mandi police registered a case of fraud of Rs 1.25 crore against a woman textile trader from Indore on Thursday.
Police said that the woman bought clothes from the wholesale traders and when the traders asked for making payment of goods she threatened trader to register a false case against them and evaded making payment.
After completing the investigation the police registered a case of fraud against the woman.
According to the information, Deepika Ora, resident of Ravi Nagar, Indore, has a show room in the industrial area on Maxi Road in Ujjain under the name of Jain Brothers Enterprises.
Earlier, Deepika bought cotton clothes worth Rs 8 lakh from Pradeep Maheshwari of Ajmer Rajasthan in December 2018, in which Deepika paid Rs 1.5 lakh. Pradeep told the police that he had contacted the accused over phone several times to collect the balance amount but every time he would escape payment with excuses and when he pressurised for payment Deepika blocked his mobile number.
In the last two years Pradeep visited Ujjain several times and also visited Deepika's house in Indore but every time Deepika avoided making payment.
SHO Ajit Tiwari said that after investigation, a case has been registered against Deepika. He has cheated millions not only with Pradeep but also with eight other traders.
