Man arrested on charges of cheating Coimbatore woman of Rs 64 lakh
COIMBATORE: The Coimbatore city cybercrime police have arrested a man from Gujarat for cheating a woman of Rs 64 lakh. The arrested man has been identified as M Mohammed Irfan Shaikh, 25, of Khambhat in Anand district in Gujarat. Police said Shaikh, who completed Class XII, visited Ukraine with his elder brother, M Mohammed Sufiyan Shaikh, 27, on a student visa in 2022. They worked as cab drivers in Ukraine. They obtained Schengen visas and visited Croatia, Poland and Serbia, where they learned the details of work permits. They returned to India in 2023 when the Russia-Ukraine war began. In 2023, the brothers started a fake firm named Sunsteller Private Limited in Anand district. They advertised on Facebook that they would obtain visas and work permits in European countries for a meagre charge. A 40-year-old woman, a resident of RS Puram in Coimbatore city who is the director of BiMars Education Limited, noticed the advertisement and contacted the brothers through social media. The brothers promised to facilitate overseas placement at a low cost and entered into an agreement with the woman. Following the agreement, she transferred Rs 64 lakh to the brothers in multiple transactions until December 2024. The money was paid in exchange for work permits, visa invitations and related documentation for various European countries. Based on the documents provided by the duo, she applied for visa verification and discovered that all the documents were fake. Based on the woman's complaint, the Coimbatore city cybercrime police registered a case against the brothers in January 2025. A team of police led by sub-inspector Praveen visited Gujarat and arrested Mohammed Irfan Shaikh. He was brought to Coimbatore city on Monday morning and remanded in judicial custody.
