“Under the pretext of paying custom duty fees, custom penalty, insurance fee and conversion procedure fee, the frauds made her pay Rs 13.59 lakh,” said deputy commissioner of police Rashmi Karandikar.

The Indian Express stated that the woman then submitted a complaint. A case was registered under relevant sections of cheating and cheating by impersonation.

“With the help of technical evidence, they managed to trace one of the culprits, identified as Pankaj Singh (24),” added Karandikar.

During his interrogation, names of other culprits were identified, who were also arrested from Delhi.Following their arrest, the police seized 25 mobile phones, four laptops, one tablet phone and 10 debit cards.

An officer said, “We have learnt that they had similarly created several profiles on Facebook while they have duped several persons using similar modus operandi.

We are trying to identify the victims and subsequently, we will check whether the complaint is made at the concerned police station as it will help us in detecting more cases.”
