So in all the victim was cheated of nearly Rs 32 lakh by him.

Ahmed was brought to Mumbai on Thursday. The police said he created a Facebook account in the name Sana Khan, befriended the victim and duped him into paying him over a false promise of marriage. In 2021, the victim had lost Rs 7-R8 lakh after another ‘woman’ called Sofia befriended him on FB. However, after a complaint was lodged with the local police station, the matter stopped there. The police could not track him then.
