LAHORE: A conman has looted the citizen in Lahore’s Nawankot neighbourhood and fled from the scene immediately after receiving cash worth Rs60,000 against a goat, ARY News reported on Friday.
The local police station registered a case and initiated an investigation into the incident of defrauding a citizen by a fake cattle dealer.
According to details, a conman who posed as a cattle dealer was selling a goat to a citizen in a local market of Lahore and they agreed over a price for the sacrificial animal. The citizen initially paid Rs60,000 to him and asked him to wait for a few minutes to get the remaining payment.
