One person has been arrested for allegedly cheating a man of Rs 30,000 by fraudulently procuring victim's credit card details and conducting online transactions, police said today.

Yunus, a resident of Laxmi Nagar, was apprehended recently following an investigation into a complaint filed by one Sharad Kumar who claimed that some persons have conducted online transactions using his credit card.

According to Kumar, one Pooja contacted him over phone in March last year and offered him a credit card of Kotak Mahindra. When he showed interest, one Amit Kumar visited his house and collected photocopies of Credit Cards of Citi Bank and ABN Amro Bank.

"Later, Kumar came to know that he has been cheated of Rs 30,100 by way of online purchasing through his credit cards," a senior police official said.

Investigators found that the call was made to the complainant from a Walky Talky telephone of Tata Indicom which was in the name of one Yunus. However, screening of call records did not help the police.

On verification of the ownership documents of the telephone, it was revealed that a copy of PAN card had been attached by Yunus.

The details of the PAN card were obtained from Income Tax office but it was found that the property whose address he had mentioned as his own in the documents had been sold off.

However, in the documents related to sale of the property, Yunus had mentioned an address of Laxmi Nagar from where he was apprehended.

During interrogation, the official claimed, Yunus told police that he had come in contact with one Fareed who is the alleged leader of the gang and made him join it.

Fareed had posed as Amit Kumar to dupe Sharad.

"Yunus arranged a Tata Indicom Walky Talky phone for making calls to the customer. When Kumar gave the photocopies of his credit cards of Citi Bank and ABN Amro Bank, they used these cards for online purchasing," the official said.

Yunus, a father of four, came alongwith his parents from Meerut to Delhi years ago. He has four children.

Efforts are on to nab Fareed and other members allegedly involved in the fraud.
