The Delhi Police have busted a gang of online frauds arresting four of its members who allegedly used to open bank accounts on forged identities and sell them to other criminals to receive money in, an officer said here on Saturday. The mastermind of the gang has been identified a 41-year-old Darvesh Kumar, a resident of Sultanpuri, who used to sell these fake accounts for a sum to people involved in phishing.
Priyanka Sarkar, 24, a resident of Rohini, Deepak, 29, a resident of Mangolpuri, and Ajit Singh, 35, a resident of Faridabad in Haryana were the other three arrested, they said. A juvenile too has been apprehended in the matter. The matter was taken up for investigation after a woman in January filed a complaint saying she lost Rs 61,800 from her bank account in a phishing scam, police said. According to police, the woman, searching for doctors for appointment, had come across a mobile number on internet.
