Teacher's Rs 6 Lakh Lost: Cancer Hoax Leads to Extortion Case

Teacher’s Rs 6 Lakh Lost: Cancer Hoax Leads to Extortion Case

An Arki government school teacher has lodged a police complaint, alleging a shocking case of extortion. The accused, Shakuntala Devi, allegedly defrauded him of approximately Rs 6 lakh under the false pretense of needing funds for cancer treatment.

Devi reportedly spun a web of deceit, initially garnering sympathy from the teacher. She then escalated her demands, extorting further sums of money.

The situation took a sinister turn when Devi threatened to file a false rape case against the teacher if he refused to comply with her demands.

A case of extortion has been registered against Devi, and the Arki police have initiated a thorough investigation into the matter. The teacher’s statement and other relevant evidence are being examined.

This incident highlights the vulnerability of individuals to such meticulously crafted scams. The police investigation is crucial not only for justice but also to prevent similar fraudulent activities targeting unsuspecting citizens.
