A love affair conducted over phone went terribly awry with the young woman duped and abandoned in a hotel room a day after the couple eloped.
The 33-year old dupester Sapam Noren aka Manao, son of Gouramani of Heingang Awang Leikai under Imphal East police station was arrested by Waikhong police on July 18 and taken to Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) for medical examination.
The young woman has been identified as Moirangthem Priya (23), daughter of M Boboy of Waikhong Khunjao Leikai in Thoubal district.
The two lovers began their affair over the phone.
After about two months, the couple finally met on June 20, about 11 am at Waikhong Khunjao area.
Noren, a married man, reportedly used a fake name and concealed his marital status in order to woo young Priya.
The two decided to elope within minutes of their first meeting and took their love affair to a hotel room in North AOC area.
But the fraud ventured out the next day in the pretext of finding financial assistance and never came back, abandoning Priya.
A report had been registered with the police after the incident.
The police who have been investigating into the case made a breakthrough by establishing the veracity of a phone number used by the accused.
Noren was arrested by the police at about 1 pm from Heingang village yesterday, according to the police.
