Bhubaneswar: One person, who allegedly duped his friend’s wife of Rs 18 lakh, was arrested by the Sahid Nagar police here Thursday and forwarded to court. The accused, Saroj Nayak, falsely promised the victim, Kalpana Samantaray, a partnership in his company, ‘Best Deals.’
Saroj, who is the managing director of the company, allegedly took Rs 18 lakh from Kalpana in 2014 on the pretext of making her a partner in the company. However, he did not fulfill his promise.
