The Crime Branch of Delhi police on Wednesday arrested two men accused in cases of cheating and another accused in supplying mobile SIM cards procured through fake identities from the capital. The gang had duped a victim for over one lakh forty thousand rupees on the pretext of providing him interest-free loans.
The accused were identified as Manoj Kumar (29), a resident of New Moti Nagar, Rahul Sharma (27), a resident of Sant Nagar in Burari and Tarun Rastogi, a resident of Krishna Nagar, police said.
"On November 14, one Raghav Ram, resident of West Patel Nagar, filed a complaint that he had received a call in July where the caller stated that he was calling from a private bank and it was offering loan at zero per cent interest rate," Additional Commissioner of Police (crime) A K Singla said.
Ram agreed to take the loan and the caller asked his Pan Card and Aadhaar Card number which the complainant provided, he said.
Thereafter, the caller asked for Rs 10,000 as security money for sanctioning a loan of Rs 5 lakh on which the complainant transferred the amount in the account provided by him.
The caller duped the complainant of Rs 1,44,866 in six transactions, Singla said.
On November 14, police arrested Kumar and Sharma from their fake call centre in Kirti Nagar industrial area, Singla said.
During interrogation, they disclosed that they used to get fake SIM cards from one Tarun Rastogi and on Saturday, Rastogi was also arrested, police said.
Thirty-two mobile phones and 28 SIM cards were seized, said Singla, adding that they used to get the amount in bank accounts opened with fake IDs.
