‘First lady of Afghanistan’ dupes 71-year-old of 5 lakh

The victim – identified as Rameshkumar Shah who works as an accountant in a few firms – told the police that he received an email on February 18 in which the sender identified herself as Rula Ghani, the first lady of Afghanistan. Incidentally, Rula Ghani happens to be the name of the wife of Ashraf Ghani, who was Afghanistan’s president from 2014 until the Taliban took hold.

After waiting for a week or so, Shah again tried to transfer the amount to his Indian account, but it didn’t get transferred. At this point, the alleged representative of Ghani said that he would send the amount to the complainant’s address. On April 4, a black man visited his house and handed him a bag claiming the entire money was in it. When the complainant opened it the next day, it turned out to be stacks of black paper cut into the shape of currency notes. (Image for representation)
