Delhi Police has arrested a 21-year-old man for allegedly providing a bank account to receive proceeds of an online rental scam, officials said on Sunday.
The complainant had listed his flat on an online property portal and was contacted by a prospective tenant who claimed to be an Indian Army subedar, the police said.
“After finalising the deal, the fraudster asked the victim to share his UPI details and send Rs 1 for verification. The accused then generated a Rs 34,999 “request money” transaction and falsely projected it as a payment being sent to the complainant. On accepting the request and entering his UPI PIN, the amount was debited from the victim’s account,” a police officer said.
