A 52-year-old Mumbai-based businessman was allegedly cheated of Rs 53 lakh by a woman who befriended him through a dating app. The woman whom the victim met through a dating app induced him to invest in a fraudulent scheme, police said on Thursday.

A police official, while addressing the incident, asserted, “The complainant, who is in the logistics business and also runs a marketing company, had created an account on a dating app, as he wanted to marry, and received a friend request from a female user who identified herself as 'Priyanka Gupta', a resident of Juhu,” as per PTI.
