India's intelligence department is investigating reports that a fraudster has sold to an American businessman the prime minister's residence in the heart of New Delhi recently.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh

The businessman forked out Rs35 million ($802,600 or Dh2.9 million) for the house that was up for sale on a Web site as a "huge sprawling mansion in the heart of Lutyen's Delhi with 24x7 running water and electricity", the Hindustan Times said.

He soon received the title deed for the house and arrived in the Indian capital late in March to take possession of the house for an office he planned to set up only to discover he had been cheated

That was a great prank! I belive that american business man understood how smart indians can be
