Bengaluru: A 26-year-old man was arrested by Subramanya Nagar police for cheating many people of several lakhs by posing as an army officer.
The arrested is identified as Agnesh Matapati, a resident of Rajajinagar.
It is gathered that Agnesh had taken money from people after assuring to buy them valuables like cars, mobile phones and other electronic gadgets at a discounted price by using his army ID card.
He was arrested after one of his victims lodged a complaint with the police on April 8, stating that the suspect had taken Rs 22 lakh from him to buy several valuables at a discounted price.
Anesh reportedly told police that he was a soldier at the MEG centre and was dismissed a few years ago, though police are yet to verify his claim.
