Ajmer Man Arrested for Rs 1 Lakh Fraud Claiming Close Ties to Central Minister

Ajmer police arrested a 35‑year‑old suspect accused of cheating a resident by promising to secure a transfer for the resident's wife from Bhiwandi to Ajmer. The accused presented himself as a close associate of a Union minister and asked for Rs 1 lakh as a processing fee. The victim filed a complaint after the promised transfer failed to materialise.
