Discounts and offers are one single thing behind which people throughout the world become excited. These offers don’t only thrill the middle-class or poor people but also those who are considered as the rich ones. Although, there are many examples to look up where discounts don’t always come out to one’s advantages. The offers have their share of pros as well as cons and as the recipient of the discount, its our responsibility to carefully evaluate between them and then make our final decision. One more such fraud incident took place with India’s much renowned cricketer. The Indian wicket-keeping batsman, Rishabh Pant duped of INR 1.63 Crores by a conman cricketer from Haryana.
It is quite surprising that the one who has been duped is a cricketer. Considering the fact that cricket is one of the most earned professions, especially in India. The cricketers even get paid for a every single post on their Instagram handle. Not only do they earn through social media but also the Indian Premier League comes as a carrier to earn which also includes the un-capped players. Although, it’s human nature to save money wherever possible. Rishabh Pant became a victim of a con cricketer of Haryana named Mrinank Singh and lost his massive amount of 1.63 Crore to the conman.
Rishabh Pant Duped of INR 1.63 Crores:
Mrinank Singh falsely persuaded Pant by stating that he possesses a newly established business of his own. In the business, according to the con cricketer, he buys and sells luxurious watches, jewellery and other opulent things. Therefore, he urged Pant to buy from his for which he’ll be given huge offers and discounts. According to speculations, Pant finally gave in to the idea when Mrinank mentioned other cricketers who have bought from him in the past. Also, Rishabh Pant was enticed in reselling his own possessed luxurious items which included watches for a massive amount. The Indian cricketer was, what seemed like, mesmerized by the offer and handed over his opulent items which was worth more than Rs 65 Lakhs for reselling.

However, that was not it. Pant also gave him an additional amount of more than Rs 2 Crore to buy from the con-cricketer. Though, when few months passed away, Mrinank Singh wasn’t able to deliver those goods to the cricketer and hence they decided to settle it down mutually. After their personal meeting, they came to a conclusion of Singh giving Pant a cheque of Rs 1.63 Crore. Not to mention, when Rishabh went to the bank with the cheque to withdraw the money, it was bouncing back. There was deficiency of money in Singh’s bank account as per the cheque. Although, at present, he is in the judicial custody of Juhu Police in Mumbai and was taken in charge in May starting. Rishabh has also filed a complaint regarding the matter and is currently previewed in sub judice in Saket Court, Delhi.
