London-returned doctor duped of Rs 2.5 crore

Thursday, 29 October 2020 | PNS | Lucknow

The desire to get all his wishes fulfilled without making much efforts landed a London-returned doctor in trouble when two tantriks in Meerut duped him of ` 2.5 crore by selling him the magical ‘Aladdin’ lamp.

The two promised the doctor that a ‘genie’ would do magic for him and he could easily get all his wishes fulfilled.

The incident took place in the Khairnagar area under Brahmpuri police station of the city. The victim identified, as Dr Laeek Khan, has approached police against the cheats. The cops also swung into action and managed to nab the two culprits. 

Reports said that in 2018, a patient named Sameena came in contact with the doctor. Later, the doctor frequently visited her home for her treatment.

The doctor said he met a tantrik named Islamuddin at the lady’s house. The tantrik made big promises about his magical powers. 

Islamuddin promised the doctor to make him a billionaire. After this, the tantrik and his friend promised the doctor to give him a magical ‘Aladdin’ lamp.  According to the doctor, the two accused often made him see the 'genie' appearing from the lamp.

Whenever the doctor asked the tantriks to take the lamp to his home, they scared him, saying it would bode ill to him if he touched the lamp.

Later, the doctor realised that the ‘genie’ was none other than Islamuddin, the husband of his patient Sameena. The doctor said the accused cheated him of ` 2.5 cr in total for selling him the magical lamp.

The doctor later approached Meerut’s Senior  Superintendent of Police (SSP) in this regard and sought his help to nab the accused. 

Brahampuri Circle Officer Amit Rai said they had arrested the two men, Islamuddin and his friend Anees, for the alleged fraud. The police are also making efforts to nab the woman.
