Bengaluru, Nov 6: A 26-year-old woman, who is said to have conned at least 150 people in various parts of the country and has had several run-ins with the police, is now cooling her heels behind bars for cheating a city advocate.

Kushbu SharmaKushbu Sharma, a native of Jaipur in Rajasthan and a school dropout, used to pose as a Supreme Court lawyer, an IAS?officer, CEO of a well-known software firm, a top celebrity and at times as daughter of a politician to cheat her victims.

On Friday, the Pulakeshi Nagar police arrested her for cheating advocate Sanketh Yenagi. Kushbu met Sanketh and introduced herself as a lawyer practising in the Supreme Court and expressed her wish to join his firm, the police said. After learning that Sanketh was looking for a bigger office space, Kushbu offered to help him get an office on rent in UB City.

She had also told Sanketh that her father was a retired IAS officer and owned a share in UB City. Sanketh entered into an agreement with her and fixed the rent based on the percentage of profit he would earn from his work. On October 28, they completed the formalities and Sanketh paid her Rs 1.35 lakh, said the police.

A few days ago, Sanketh went to meet his associate in the court and asked Kushbu who accompanied him to wait in his car. When he returned after sometime, he found her missing with his coat which had a wallet containing Rs 25,000, an iPhone and a suitcase with documents. He tried calling her but her mobile was switched off. He went home and while surfing the internet, he checked on her and discovered that she was a career con woman.

He later lodged a complaint and informed the police about her past record.

“Meanwhile, the police who were tracking her mobile phone found that she was travelling near Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. But they lost the signal as she switched off the mobile phone. While Sanketh received a call from Kushbu from another phone number, she told him she wanted more money to refurbish the office and asked him to meet her. She had not realised that Sanketh by now knew her past,” a senior police officer said.

Sanketh asked her to meet him near his office in Pulakeshinagar.

“On Friday evening, when she came to meet him, plainclothes men arrested her. She kicked up a ruckus claiming that she was from a well-known family and that they would land in the soup if they troubled her,” added the officer.

The police have recovered Rs 1.2 lakh from her.

Kushbu claimed that she lost her right hand in a train accident.

She was residing in a paying guest accommodation in Indiranagar and had told the PG?owner she was a lawyer.

She had obtained a fake degree certificate and spoke fluent English.

She used her attractive personality to cheat people in Mumbai, Pune, Rajasthan and other places, police said.

Recently, she was arrested by the Mumbai Police for cheating a man.

She was arrested by several state police, but she came out on bail and continued cheating people, said the police.

Mumbai, Jun 14: Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide on Sunday, leaving all his fans and the industry in shock. While the reason behind him taking up the extreme step is still not clear, a look into Sushant’s social media feed suggests that things were not well for him for quite some time.

Sushant had been inactive on Twitter since months. His last tweet was on December 27, 2019. Since then, he did not even reply to any one on Twitter. Same is the case with his Facebook account as the last post on his timeline was on the same date. Interestingly, Sushant's Twitter cover picture is the popular painting - 'Starry Night', by Van Gogh, who had also reportedly committed suicide in 1890.

On Instagram, the young actor had last posted on June 3. It was a collage picture of him and his mother along with a cryptic caption that read, “Blurred past evaporating from teardrops Unending dreams carving an arc of smile And a fleeting life, negotiating between the two...#माँ”.

Was Sushant’s inactivity on Twitter, Facebook and his last cryptic post on Instagram a signal that the actor was having a tough time? Well, may be it will remain a mystery forever.

The Jammu and Kashmir Administration had on February 5 invoked the Public Safety Act (PSA) against former Chief Ministers Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah. The duo was detained after the Central government abrogated Article 370 last year.
