The complaint was received on May 7 at Rohini's Cyber Police Station in which the woman, a medical professional residing in Delhi, stated that she had come in contact with a man, who introduced himself as Vishwas Bhosle on a matrimonial platform, he said.

A police officer said that ''the two developed a rapport over time and began speaking regularly''. ''During the course of their interaction, the accused allegedly took Rs 20 lakh from the woman on various false pretexts,'' he added.
