The victim subsequently invested Rs 73.72 lakh over a span of three months, the official said.<br \/>\nHowever, when no returns were credited later, the man grew suspicious.<br \/>\nWhen he tried to enquire about the promised returns and the invested money, the woman stopped responding and eventually became incommunicado, the official said.<br \/>\nThe man then approached the police with a complaint.<br \/>\nFollowing a preliminary inquiry, the police on July 4 registered a case under sections 420 (cheating) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, the official said.<br \/>\nThe police were working to trace the accused and track digital footprints related to the fraudulent transactions, he added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30540\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30540\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30540\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-300x157.jpeg\" alt=\"Elderly Man Loses Rs 73.72 Lakh In Gold Trading Fraud After Meeting Woman On Dating App\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-300x157.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-768x401.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-549x287.jpeg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-470x245.jpeg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-233x122.jpeg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-230x120.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-360x188.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223-100x52.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/910665500721929223.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30540\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elderly Man Loses Rs 73.72 Lakh In Gold Trading Fraud After Meeting Woman On Dating App<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thane, Jul 7: A 62-year-old resident of Navi Mumbai has allegedly been cheated of Rs 73.72 lakh after being lured into gold trading for high returns by a woman whom he met through a dating application, police said on Monday.
