Two Men Arrested in Delhi for Online Credit Card Fraud Involving Gold Purchases
Two men, Vicky Mehta and Chitrasen Tripathi, were arrested in Delhi for allegedly defrauding a resident of over Rs 1 lakh by impersonating private bank executives. They obtained the victim's credit card details under the pretext of increasing the credit limit and used the card to buy gold coins online. Fake SIM cards facilitated the transactions and deliveries, with Tripathi receiving the gold at his residence. Police are investigating an additional associate believed to be involved and are tracing an absconding suspect.
