"She introduced herself as an AIIMS doctor and lured him on the pretext of speedy treatment and took Rs 96,000 from him through UPI. Later on, the alleged told him to come after 10 days but after that, the accused started ignoring the calls of the complainant," said the DCP.
During investigation, after intensive search, the accused woman was found near AIIMS OPD wearing doctor's coat with her name stitched on it and she was apprehended.
"On interrogation, she confessed to her crime. Further, investigation is being conducted to find any other accused involved and to recover the cheated amount and to find other offences of cheating committed by the accused," said the official.
