Delhi man met a ‘US doctor’ on Grindr. Then he lost his Rs 1.46 lakh savings
On March 25, a 23-year-old man from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, moved to Delhi, aiming for a fresh start. Identifying as queer, he used Grindr, a gay dating app, but was too busy with work to engage much. In just three days, he fell victim to a cyber dating scam, losing his entire Rs 1.46 lakh savings. This led to Delhi Police investigating an interstate cybercrime syndicate, resulting in the arrest of four people across Delhi, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, including a Nigerian woman.
