A conman who tried to cheat a gold trader himself got tricked and was arrested by Filmnagar police on Thursday.

The man Inamul Hussain (30), a resident of Rajasthan contacted a businessman Abdullah Ibrahim, a resident of Filmnagar over phone. Inamul told Abdullah that he had eight kilograms of gold and planned to sell it for Rs 6 crore in bulk due to some personal issues.

Sensing something fishy Abdullah contacted the cyber crime police who asked him to avoid calls for fear of being duped.

However, Inamul came to city from Rajasthan and again contacted Abdullah.
