Offer for sale of an item over the internet

Recently I was looking for a high end DSLR camera and expressed interest in an item which was on sale in the OLX.in website. In a few days I received an email purported to be from one Anil Shamar stating that he has an identical item for sale. The price he quoted appeared to be much less than what it should be even for a used item. So I didn't argue for the price and replied that i will be willing to buy it provided the price will be paid thro banking channels and not cash, after the item is received by me. He agreed and after a few days, he sent the bank account particulars of the person to whom the money is to be transferred. He also asked for 10% of the price for the shipping and handling charges. Though I grew suspicious of the genuineness of the offer, since the money was not very much I transferred the money to that account. After some more days he again sent a mail that some more money is required for releasing the item from the Customs dept. as it is an imported item. I flatly fefused since no such demand had been made earlier and he was squrely responsible for clearing it from customs or whatever. After that I have not heard from him at all.

My question is can I register a complaint with the local police for fraud and will they be able to  nab him with the bank account details? I will be grateful for any advice. It is not so much for the money, as my desire to punish him for attempting a fraud and prevent his trying the same trck on others.
