On the basis of technical surveillance and secret information, a raid was conducted and the accused apprehended near his Uttam Nagar house.
"The mobile phones used by the accused to call victims and mentioned on his deceiving website were also recovered from his possession. The bank accounts, PayTM accounts (having around total balance around Rs 23 lakh) used by the acccused for receiving the money have also been identified and the accounts frozen. Further investigations are on and role of other co-accused is being probed," added the officer.
