A fraudster expresses 'fake' interest in purchasing a college student's bike and drives away with the vehicle.
The college student had posted an advertisement online to sell his bike. He was approached by the culprit who posed as a prospective buyer. The student handed him the keys for a test drive but when the student went to answer nature's call, he drove away with the bike.
A Manivel, 21, from Erode, was studying final year engineering in a private college located on L&T bypass road near Chinniyampalayam. He had advertised on the OLX website that he wanted to sell his Honda CBR 250 motor cycle.
At 7pm on February 15, someone called Manivel, posing as a prospective buyer. He mentioned that he would like to take the vehicle for a test drive before he purchased it. Trusting him, Manivel asked the caller to meet him in front of Sakthi Engineering College. Manivel then gave him the keys for a test drive.
