Instagram Reel Star Booked for Defrauding Women
A man named Shailesh Ramugade, who makes videos on Instagram, is in trouble for tricking a woman into giving him a lot of money.
He promised to marry her and asked for money for different things like a photoshoot, a car, and his father's hospital bills.
The woman gave him ₹22 lakh.
Later, she found out he had done the same to other women and had even been arrested before.
The police are now investigating and have found expensive items like a car and gold that he might have bought with the stolen money.
Shailesh Prakash Ramugade, an Instagram reel creator, was booked for defrauding a 30-year-old IT engineer of ₹22 lakh.
The victim met Ramugade on Instagram in January 2023, and he promised to marry her.
Ramugade allegedly took money for a photoshoot, a BMW car, and his father's hospital expenses.
The victim transferred a total of ₹22 lakh to Ramugade, who avoided repayment and became unreachable.
