Man held for e-mail fraud
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: A 42-year-old man who was allegedly part of an e-mail fraud racket being run by certain Nigerian nationals has been arrested in South Delhi. The police claim to have detected 16 bank accounts being used to collect money from the victims.
Hemchandra Barot, an Ahmedabad-based businessman, lodged a complaint with the police in February alleging that he had been cheated of Rs.4.5 lakh. Mr. Barot received an e-mail from a person posing as an agent of a leading U.K.-based pharma company and offered him 40 per cent commission for supplying a herbal product in the Indian market. On that pretext, the gang members cheated him. Acting on the complaint, the police had earlier arrested four Nigerian nationals and a woman accomplice. However, the man who operated the bank accounts remained at large.
Acting on a specific tip-off, the police arrested the suspect, Rajender Chauhan, at Begumpur on Tuesday.
