The Bangur Nagar police have caught an accused person who allegedly duped people across the city by getting away with their vehicles selling it on a product selling website and giving them cheques that would eventually bounce.

A freelancer casting director Saurabh Singh had put up his I20 Magna car for sale on an online marketplace. The accused then contacted him to purchase the car and also handed him a cheque of Rs 4.2 lakh. But after Saurabh went to deposit it in the bank, the cheque bounced. Post that, he repeatedly asked to be paid, but the accused neither paid up nor did he give Saurabh the car back.
