The man was supposed to pretend to be a respected and well-paid doctor. “He was very persuasive about his lies and chose only successful single or widowed women in their forties as potential victims,” ​​senior police officer Sanjiv Satpathy told AFP. His team arrested Swain after months of investigation, during which they discovered 128 counterfeit credit cards used by the fraudster.
