In Indore's LIG police station area, a cunning scheme has duped a senior couple of Rs 91,000 by posing as medical professionals. The victim, a 67-year-old grocery trader, was cycling alongside his 64-year-old wife when a motorcyclist noticed the woman's cracked hands and heels, believed to be caused by psoriasis. The motorcyclist claimed a specialist doctor from Ahmedabad had treated a similar condition previously and charged the couple Rs 1,000 for initial consultation.
The following day, two men in masks and gloves arrived at their home. One introduced himself as the Ahmedabad-based doctor, examining the woman's hands and warning that she could develop cancer if left untreated. He allegedly performed a procedure involving an incision, blood extraction, and cream application, labeling it as pus, and demanded Rs 6,000 per drip.
The couple ended up paying Rs 91,000 for what proved to be ineffective treatment, with the suspects arriving in a rented car and switching off their phones. The son suspects a larger fraud network and plans to file a complaint with MIG police.
