The Cyber Cell of the Delhi Police has arrested a man for defrauding individuals through the OLX app. The accused, identified as Siddharth Panigrahi alias Sagar, 26, is a resident of Naya Garh, Odisha.
The police action was prompted by a complaint filed at South Delhi’s Cyber Police Station. According to reports, the victim attempted to purchase 25 air conditioners listed on OLX and was convinced by the scammer to transfer Rs 2,00,000 as an advance payment in four separate transactions on April 27. After receiving the payment, the fraudster ceased all communication, leading the victim to realize he had been conned.
Following the complaint, the police team traveled to Odisha and successfully apprehended Panigrahi, bringing an end to his fraudulent activities.
