Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The police arrested a man in Chhatripura area on Saturday for duping a person of Rs 23 lakh on the pretext of doubling his life insurance money. The accused had taken money for life insurance a few years ago and when his policy matured, the accused told him to keep the money in the account as the amount could be doubled if he continued his insurance policy.
