Delhi Cab Driver Dupes US Man Of ₹ 90,000 after making him believe that there is ‘Shutdown in the City’ due to festivals!
A taxi driver in Delhi has been arrested for allegedly duping a US national of more than Rs 90,000 by lying to him about shutdown the city due to festivals, the police said on Monday.
US national George Vanmeter, who landed in Delhi on October 18, was allegedly convinced by the driver and his aides that there was a shutdown in the city due to festivals. He was even taken to a fake travel agency where he was made to re-book his tour plan.
In his complaint, the man alleged that the taxi driver offered to take him to a hotel in Paharganj, where he had a booking, but later stopped near a road blocked by police barricades.
