Fraud in the name of facilitating trading

The three accused were living in a rented accommodation in Radha Vihar and were defrauding people by promising to facilitate trading. The kingpin of the gang, Deepak Agarwal, is operating the entire network from Dubai.

Apprehended during online activities

Station House Officer Poonam Choudhary informed that the three accused were found engaged in online activities using laptops and mobile phones on the second floor of the house. Upon their inability to provide satisfactory answers, a search was conducted, leading to the recovery of suspicious electronic equipment and bank documents. Subsequently, the accused were handed over to Mahesh Nagar police station.

Tenant verification not done

The police reported that no police verification was carried out for anyone residing in the house where the wanted individual and later the three accused were tenants. Action will be taken against the landlord for this negligence.
