Kiran Patel allegedly deceived the complainant with the promise of getting him a big project in Jammu and Kashmir.
Alleged conman Kiran Patel was on Saturday charged of cheating a businessman from Ahmedabad by posing as an official from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), taking the number of FIRs against him to six, police said.
The city crime branch registered a first information report (FIR) against Patel on the complaint of one Kishor Chandarana, who owns an event management firm. Patel allegedly deceived the complainant with the promise of getting him a big project in Jammu and Kashmir.
Patel was first arrested in March by the J&K police for posing as a PMO official and brought to Gujarat on a transfer warrant by the Ahmedabad crime branch on April 8 in connection with another cheating case registered against him, said officials.
According to the crime branch, Patel identified himself as an ‘additional director' in the PMO by sending a visiting card to the complainant on WhatsApp and claimed that he had been given the responsibility of the development of Kashmir.
