Malegaon:
A fake Dubai princess and three of her male accomplices were
arrested on Wednesday by police in the northern Indian state of
Punjab for trying to dupe the family of one of the 17 Indians who
are facing the death penalty in Sharjah, Gulf News quoted a
senior official.
Dr Jitendra Jain, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Ludhiana,
Punjab told Gulf News that the woman posed as a ‘princess'
from Dubai, and claimed she could help the family to get their kin
out of prison if they paid her money.
"The four were produced in the court and are remanded to the police
custody. Investigations are on and we are yet to track whether they
have any links to Dubai," Jain told Gulf News over phone.
The 40-year old woman, Sarabjit Kaur, is reportedly a resident of
Mahianwala village near Zira town in Ferozepur district.
Ludhiana (rural) Superintendent of Police, H.S. Chahal told Gulf
News over the phone from Punjab that on July 10, the brother of
Sarabjit Kaur called Jaspreet Singh and said that a Dubai ‘princess'
is visiting Punjab, and she could help release his brother Kuldeep
Singh who is currently on death row in Sharjah.
The man demanded Rs1.4 million (Dh110,134) in return, said the
officer.
"Jaspreet contacted Avtar Singh, senior vice-president of Lok Bhalai
Party, that is involved in fighting for the cause of the release of
these 17 Indians, who in turn informed us. Singh talked to the
caller over the phone and struck a deal for Rs600,000 (Dh47,200).
They also informed the police.
"The man called them at Zira bus stand for the delivery of money and
said the ‘princess' will herself accept the money. We laid a trap
and arrested the woman when she was receiving the money on Tuesday
at the bus stand. Her face was covered with a black scarf. The three
male accomplices escaped but we arrested them all yesterday," Chahal
said.
The officer said the three have been involved in other fraud cases
including conducting fake marriages and cheating people by posing as
spiritual gurus.
"The court has sent Sarabjit in police remand. During interrogation,
she told police that earlier she had contacted the family of another
youth on death row in the UAE," Chahal said.
Seventeen Indians — 16 from Punjab and one from Haryana — were
sentenced to death by a Shariah court in March. They were convicted
of murdering a Pakistani man and injuring three others in January
2009 in a fight over spurious liquor.
