New Delhi: Cricket player Rishabh Pant submitted a complaint alleging that conman Mrinank Singh, who is now detained for scamming another businessman, had duped him of ₹1.63 crore.
Pant claims that Mrinank made up the fact that he could get expensive watches and other accessories at “exceptionally cheap prices” and with discounts.
The complaint further stated that Mrinank made up references in order to convince the Indian cricketer of his authenticity.

Mrinank Singh is a former U-19 cricketer from Haryana who became a conman after failing to make it big in cricket.
Mrinank Singh was obsessed with leading a lavish lifestyle; he desired to eat at five-star hotels and stay in pricey dining establishments.
The teenage cricket player was determined to live a lavish lifestyle, but he had other ideas. In order to defraud women and foreign firms that sold sports accessories, Mrinank pretended to be an IPL cricket player who played for the Mumbai Indians.
Mrinank also had a fallback identity to avoid arrest if in case he was ever discovered.

By pretending to be an IPS officer from Karnataka, the con artist tried to deceive people once more, this time immigration officers.
In order to avoid being arrested, he pretended to be Alok Kumar, the Additional Director General of the Karnataka Police, and called top law enforcement officials, claiming to need assistance for his son Mrinank Singh, who was being held unlawfully at the Delhi airport, according to the police.
