A 28-year-old Delhi-based tailor was arrested on Wednesday following a complaint lodged by a Sector-22 resident alleging the former had duped him of his mobile phone in return for a dummy piece. The police have recovered four mobile phones and 11 dummy phones from his possession.
The accused,identified as one Rizwan,told the police that their target were teenagers,who wanted to possess expensive mobile phones without paying much.
According to the police,Harshmeet Singh,a resident of Sector 22,filed a complaint alleging that two persons had duped him of his Motorola V-8 mobile phone in Sector-17 Plaza on Tuesday afternoon. In his complaint,Singh said the accused showed him several high-end mobile phones and offered discounts upto 40 per cent. Convinced by the demonstration given,Singh told the duo that he did not have enough money with him,to which the accused proposed an exchange offer.
Singh obliged and it was only on reaching home,that he found a dummy instead of the original phone in the packet,said the police.
After the matter was reported at the Neelam police post in Sector 17,the police tracked down the accused near the Sector-17 Municipal Corporation,when they were on a scooter (DL-7SAA-9384) reportedly looking for another target.
While the other accomplice managed to flee,Rizwan was arrested and produced before a local court that remanded him in three days of police custody.
