Novelist held for cheating

According to police Saxena used to allegedly take money in advance from unsuspecting persons and then hand them a bag containing blank white papers as payment from the mobile company for erecting towers.

“While giving the money,Saxena would convince the victim that he should open the bag and check the amount only after reaching home,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Shalini Singh said.

One of Saxena’s several victims,Rakesh Kumar,a dairy owner from UP’s Sahibabad,was duped of Rs 28,500 after Saxena promised to get contract for installation of cell phone towers. Using his excellent communication skills,Saxena ,who had given a bag to Kumar claiming it had Rs 1 lakh,convinced Kumar that he should open the bag later. When Kumar checked the bag at home,he found that he had been cheated and approached the police. Saxena was arrested as he was trying to fix another ‘deal’ at Company Bagh in Muradabad. Police have registered a case Section 420 of IPC.
