The Byatarayanapura police on Saturday arrested two men who allegedly duped two Bengaluru-based businessmen by offering to sell them rice pullers for ₹1 crore, and made off with ₹78 lakh. The duo convinced the businessmen that the device ran on nuclear energy and was in high demand in international markets where they could sell it for a huge profit.
“The accused convinced the businessmen that the rice puller would command ₹5 crore in the international market. They managed to escape with ₹78.8 lakh from them, which they took as an advance,” said the police.
