Delhi Police arrested Vikrant Tomar, a 23-year-old man from Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly cheating nearly 20 women police constables of around Rs 24 lakh. Tomar reportedly posed as a wealthy businessman on Instagram, promising marriage and high investment returns to gain their trust. Victims transferred money, including personal loans, often directed to betting platform accounts. Police investigations revealed Tomar rented luxury cars to impress victims and are probing for additional complainants and possible accomplices. The accused also faces allegations of inappropriate conduct during meetings.
