The tale of Aladdin <\/strong>is one of the most memorable childhood stories. A young street orphan who comes in possession of a magical lamp that grants him three wishes via a whimsical genie. He gets to become a prince, marry the princess, and live happily ever after. Who doesn\u2019t want to be Aladdin and have a cool friend like Genie?<\/p>\n

Sadly, this all just a myth. And the people who believe in a magical wish-granting lamp are in need of a reality check. Which is exactly what one man in India got.<\/p>\n

Doctor had a little Lamp<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Laeek Khan is a medical practitioner from Uttar Pradesh got duped into buying a magical lamp from two men. Khan met the two men while he was treating a woman whom he thought was their mother. These con artists convinced the doctor that they have a magical \u2018baba\u2019 who is a supernatural being inside a lamp.<\/p>\n

\u201cGradually they started telling me about a \u2018baba\u2019 (priest) whom they claimed also visited their home. They started brainwashing me and asked me to meet this baba,\u201d Khan was quoted as saying in his complaint to Uttar Pradesh police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Khan met this \u2018baba\u2019 who seem to perform such supernatural rituals. He was not allowed to touch or take the lamp home as it would cause \u2018harm\u2019. However, the men were more accepting when Khan offered to pay, which he did.<\/p>\n

Dr. Laeek Khan paid $93,000 for the magical lamp in the hopes that it would bring health, wealth and good fortune \u2013 as promised by the two men. Unfortunately, Khan realized later on that the so-called \u2018genie\u2019 was actually one of the men in disguise. He filed a complaint to the police who have now arrested the two con-artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cheats had struck a deal for much more but the doctor had paid about seven million rupees ($93,000),\u201d Amit Rai, a senior officer told a news agency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He also said that the men were arrested on Thursday and the wife of one of these men was also involved in the fraud. However, she is on the run. He also added:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men have also cheated other families using the same modus operandi. The total amount of money involved runs into several million rupees.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
