New Delhi: Delhi Police busted an interstate gang of cyber fraudsters in north district for duping people by offering them part-time jobs, police said on Saturday. Four accused were arrested and a wide network of scamsters has been exposed. The accused were identified as Anshul Kumar (20), Sandeep (19), Rajender alias Raju (23) and Ravindra Beda alias Rakesh (20). While Anshul and Sandeep are both residents of Haryana, Rajender and Ravindra are both residents of Rajasthan. According to police, the case came to light when a 32-year-old fashion designing student from central Delhi’s Subzi Mandi complained of getting duped of Rs 90,800. The complaint was sent through the NCRP portal. According to the complainant, she had received a message on social media, offering her a part-time job of reviewing restaurants and hotels. After receiving some initial money, she was added to a group where she was told that she could earn more by investing money into the given tasks.
