Hahahahahahaha...How can anyone believe this Lamp is real?
Laeek Khan approached police in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh after he realised the lamp did not have any magical powers, as described in the popular folk tale about Aladdin and his wish-granting genie that appears when it is rubbed.
.
“The cheats had struck a deal for much more but the doctor had paid about seven million rupees ($93,000),” Amit Rai, a senior officer told AFP.
.
He said the men were arrested on Thursday and were remanded in custody ahead of charges being filed.
.
“The wife of one of these men was also involved in the fraud. She is on the run,” Rai added.
.
In his complaint filed last Sunday, Khan said one of the men pretended to be an occultist and made a “jinn” — a supernatural figure — appear from the lamp, local media reported.
.
But when Khan asked if he could touch the genie or take the lamp home, they refused, saying it might cause him harm, the complaint stated.
.
Eventually, they sold the lamp to him, promising it would bring health, wealth, and good fortune.
.
Khan stated that he later realized the “genie” was actually just one of the men in disguise.
.
“The men have also cheated other families using the same modus operandi. The total amount of money involved runs into several million rupees,” Rai said.

DeleteStella, you say he can anyone believe the lamp is real? It’s the same way my friends in the abroad find it strange that people do ritual killings just to become rich.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they arresting them. Anyway if the guys have good lawyers they will win.
ReplyDeleteThey should arrest the doctor instead for being stupid.
Aaaaah!

People shaa are gullible!
🙄🙄🙄 Greed, they say hinders sound reasoning. So the greedy doctor actually believed someone will be that foolish to sell such a lamp for a mere USD93k when they can make a wish and get billions of pounds?

ReplyDeleteLots of scamming will take place during Covid. Even in the religious circles lots of false prophets will rise. In the spiritual community lots of cult leaders will come up. All of them working on the brokenness and vulnerability of the masses. Who will live better gird themselves in a strong spirit, cause even the best among us to fall in their traps.
