Bengaluru, Jun 27: The police have managed to arrest two persons after a city-based software engineer fell victim to a scam on a dating website and was duped of Rs. 59.72 lakh.

The victim, Sainath (name changed), had unsuspectingly transferred the above amount in instalments to his girlfriend, who had been fooling the former through constant WhatsApp chats for several months.

According to the police, the techie got to know Arpitha, a teacher (actual name is Rubali and actual profession is cheating, not teaching) on an online dating site. They started chatting on messaging service WhatsApp.

After a few days of WhatsApp romance, the woman requested Sainath to transfer Rs 30,000 to her account telling him that her father was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata. She repeatedly requested him to transfer more money, which all added up to Rs. 59.72 lakh over six months, stated the complainant, who approached police after realising that he was duped.

A team led by the DGP, CID verified the transaction details and found out that Rupali (38) was duping people in collusion with her husband Kushan Majumdar (49). The Kolkata based couple — B.Com. graduates — were arrested on Tuesday and bought to the city.

The couple did not have a steady source of income since 2009. Kushan earlier worked as a salesman. He also dabbled as an actor in Bengali serials, worked as a scriptwriter and as a freelancer in local media publications.

The police said that the couple had hatched a plan to dupe men online. Rupali would log in to the website to trap men. She would use photos of models as her profile photo.

The CID, who are investigating the case, have seized Rs 44,000, two mobile phones and bank passbooks from the couple. Further investigations are under way.
