Umaria (Madhya Pradesh): The Umaria district court has sentenced a man to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) and has slapped a fine of Rs 10 thousand on him for duping a woman and her brother of Rs 2.35 lakh, the district prosecution officer, Neeraj Pandey said on Monday.
Officer Pandey said that the complainant, Lilawati Yadav, used to work as a nurse at the Umaria district hospital. One of her friends, identified as Sheelu Singh, introduced her to another man identified as Aniruddh Singh. Aniruddh told Yadav that he is posted as the deputy commissioner at CBI.
Yadav, who was in dire need of a job, sought help from Aniruddh by seeking a job opportunity at CBI for herself and her brother. Aniruddh complied with her and demanded Rs 2.35 lakh from her for getting posted at CBI. The brother-sister duo handed over the amount to Aniruddh, who broke all contacts with them after getting the money.
When the duo realised that they had been cheated, they approached the Kotwali police and the matter was presented in the court. Keeping in view all the evidences, the court pronounced Aniruddh guilty and sentenced him to 3 years RI, along with a fine of Rs 10 thousand.
