BENGALURU: A nearly six-year-old love affair that started during college days ended with the woman filing a police complaint, in which she accused her estranged boyfriend of cheating her of Rs 11.5 lakh on the pretext of marriage.
Rupali (name changed), 30, a native of West Bengal and resident of ITPB area, Whitefield division, filed the complaint against Indranil Dutta, 31, and his parents - Goutam Dutta and Neelam Dutta - both aged above 50, saying they knowingly duped her of her money.

Based on Rupali's statement, cops booked the accused under IPC section 420 (cheating). Police said Indranil, the prime accused, has vacated his rented flat in Mahadevapura and moved to his hometown, Kishanganj in Bihar.
In her statement, the woman, who works with a private firm, said Indranil and she were friends since their engineering days.
"After graduating, we joined different companies in Bengaluru. Indranil's parents knew about our relationshiop and had agreed to our marriage. Meanwhile, Indranil said we should have a joint bank account so that we could save money to buy a house in future. I trusted him and diverted part of my earnings to the joint account, which he looked after. Indranil had a credit card issued against the same account and used it for personal purposes. His parents had requested me to financially help him and that they would make sure we both got married. Indranil has taken Rs 11.5 lakh from me. Now he is avoiding me and I realised that he cheated me on the pretext of marriage," Rupali's statement read.
