The Delhi Police has arrested 65 people for allegedly duping over 200 people on the pretext of updating their BSES electricity bills. The arrests were made in raids conducted in 22 cities across the country in the last 10 days.
Police said more than 200 complaints reported at NCRP and more than 500 instances of cheating were noticed.
The accused duped these people by installing a remote access software in their victims’ mobile phones and accessing their OTPs, or one time passwords, police said. Recently, it had come to light that some fraudsters were sending random messages to the people saying their electricity bill had not been updated, and threatened to cut off their connection if they were not corrected.
