Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code also used in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has become a slang reference for a fraudulent trickster. Such criminals are called 420 in popular culture in those countries. The section deals with the cases of cheating and awards punishment of fine and/or jail up to 7 years.
The Penal Codes of both countries are inherited from the Indian Penal Code of 1860 instituted by the colonial government of the British India. A popular 1955 Hindi film from India, Mr. 420 has a central character who, though innocent, is regarded by many as a con man.
Usage
That chap twirling his Moustache in the back is a known 420. Don't do business with him. He will jack your happiness.
