New Delhi: A 24-year-old man was arrested for allegedly duping people on the pretext of offering jobs in southeast Delhi, police said Saturday. Gautam Kashyap, a resident of Burari, was arrested on Thursday, they added.

He used to make calls to people claiming to be a representative from Shine.com and ask to transfer money as facilitation and other fees for the job to his Paytm wallet, police said. In October 2018, a 34-year-old call centre employee had reported that a gang of cheats fraudulently induced him to transfer money on the pretext of a job offer, they said.
