By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI JUNE 17. A U.S. national who allegedly cheated an Australian-based company of 2 lakh dollars was arrested from Bangalore by the New Delhi police on Sunday.

A couple of days ago, Robert David Bisset, the chief operating officer of G.E.O. Connect Limited, lodged a complaint that one John E. Sheffield cheated his company by giving a cheque that bounced.

According to the complaint, Sheffield approached the G.E.O. Connect claiming that he was the chairman of a U.S.-based company, Tritech Information Strategies. He proposed for a business of providing call centre services to reputed companies.

On January 5, the accused came to India and handed over a cheque worth 2 lakh dollars against services provided by the Australian company. The cheque, which was supposedly issued by Bank National Association Kennebunk Maine, bounced later.

A case of cheating was registered at Connaught Place police station and the accused was arrested from Bangalore.
