Three alleged tricksters have been arrested for duping customers by offering lucrative deals on branded items through an online trading portal designed by them and cheating Rs 27 lakh from one of their victims.
The accused, Naseem and Naveen, were arrested on Thursday from Moti Nagar and based on revelations made by them, their acco-mplice, Avtar, was arrested from Laxmi Nagar, said Ravindra Yadav, joint commissioner (crime branch).
The trio had been running an online trading portal in the name of “Shopit” to lure customers. They would call their victims from numbers taken on forged IDs and offer them items at cheap rates prompting them to deposit money in the names of delivery and clearance charges.
The accused were arrested in connection with a complaint filed by one of their victim, Rohit Modi, in Jagdalpur with the Chhattisgarh police.
