Gurugram, Feb 26 (IANS) A cyber crime police team of the Gurugram Police has arrested two individuals for cheating people on the pretext of recovering loans given via an online Chinese app and other loan applications.
An official said that as part of their modus operandi, the accused allegedly used to edit photos of their victims with naked (obscene) photos and send those to their friends and relatives through WhatsApp.
