The man is held by police over claims he defrauded his girlfriend and his parents out of more than 1 million yuan.

A man has been detained by police over claims he cheated his girlfriend and her parents out of more than 1 million yuan (US$148,000).

Police said the 38-year-old, surnamed Dang, began a relationship with the woman, surnamed Li, in June 2016 and Li gave birth to their daughter in October the following year.

Police said Dang was using a fake identity and that 31-year-old Li started to have her suspicions when he repeatedly refused to apply for ahukou,or permanent residence, for the child, which would require the identifications of both parents.

Police at Nanmatou Road Police Station in the Pudong New Area said Li reported the case to them last month.

Li claimed that the man, who said his surname was Ji, had asked her and her parents for more than 1 million yuan over the past two years for various reasons, including that his parents had died.

Police said their investigation found that Ji was actually Dang, a married man with an 11-year-old daughter who had separated from his wife nine years ago.
