A salesman in Bhubaneswar, India, was arrested after faking a robbery of over Rs 3.3 lakh ($4,600) that he had lost in online gambling. The salesman, Jayant Kumar Sahoo, had collected the cash from different shops on behalf of his FMCG agency. After losing the money in online rummy, Sahoo planned to stage a fake robbery to cover his tracks. He contacted three friends who snatched a bag of cash from him, but their plan fell apart when police discovered deposits of nearly Rs 2 lakh in Sahoo's bank account. Two of Sahoo's associates have also been arrested.
