GURUGRAM: A heart patient from Iraq who was allegedly duped of USD15,000 by two people died at a hospital in Gurugram. Faris Muslim Abbas (62) was admitted to the hospital on October 23 following the cheating incident. He died in early hours on October 24.
An attendant of his claimed that Abbas had chased the two people who had duped him and his wife, after which his condition worsened.

Abbas and his wife Nada Ali Salman had come here on October 21 and they had consulted a surgeon at Medanta Hospital on October 22.
On October 23 around 3.30 pm, when they were going to the market, they were duped of the cash.
