Indore police have booked a couple for allegedly cheating a travel agency owner out of Rs 16.70 lakh in the Bhanwarkuan area. Vinayak Mittal and his wife Priyanka allegedly borrowed money by claiming they were in financial distress. When the complainant demanded repayment, Priyanka threatened to file a false case against him. The couple had pledged a Mercedes-Benz car and took Rs 6 lakh from the complainant, who was told the money would be returned within two months.
Vinayak then allegedly sold the car and took Rs 2.5 lakh from the complainant, promising to return the funds within a month. During that time, Vinayak also took Rs 8.20 lakh from the complainant through bank transactions, citing his father's illness. When the complainant inquired about the return of the money and the cars, Vinayak allegedly said he no longer had the funds.
The police registered a case against Vinayak and Priyanka after the complainant provided evidence of the vehicles and financial transactions.
