A Noida-based software engineer, Tarun Varshney, was cheated of ₹60 lakh on pretext of being made the heir to 12.5 million pounds (approximately ₹129 crore) fortune of a London-based NRI. The fraudsters contacted Tarun in 2019, telling him that Indian-origin man Braj Varshney chose him as a nominee due to the same ‘gotra’. Police have arrested three people so far.
