Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Five members of a gang, which duped people by taking their bank account details and registered mobile numbers for fraud transactions, were arrested in Vijay Nagar area on Wednesday. They are currently being interrogated.
DCP (zone-2) Abhinay Vishwakarma said that Rajendra Goyal, a resident of Jayshree Nagar area of the city who worked as a food delivery boy, had lodged a complaint, saying that he met two men named Vishal and Vicky near Meghdoot Garden two months ago.
They allegedly informed Goyal about online trading and said that there was a good profit in it. They told him that their company Research Infotech, which had its office in Vijay Nagar, was also in share market trade. The complainant said that some time later, Vishal called him to a tea shop in Vijay Nagar.
When he reached there, they told to work with their company to get a profit of Rs 50,000 per month. “They had told me to bring my bank passbook, ATM card, cheque book and a SIM card registered with the bank,” Goyal said. He gave all details to the duo but they did not give him work or any money for more than two months.
Later, Goyal came to know that Rs 4 lakh were deposited in his bank account and withdrawn within a month. When he asked Vishal and Vicky about this, they started evading the issue.
Becoming suspicious, Goyal enquired about their office and company and found there was no company named Research Infotech, nor was there any such office in Vijay Nagar.
He then lodged a complaint with the police. Vijay Nagar Police staff started an investigation and managed to arrest Vishal Baghora of Rajsamand (Rajasthan), Vicky Sharma of Chhota Bangarda, Pradeep Wukan and Lokesh Lakhara of Bhilwara (Rajasthan), and Dheeraj of Airport Road.
