The fraud came to light based on the complaint by a person who alleged that he had lost Rs 30,998 to the fraud. The police traced one of the suspects to Bengaluru. His interrrogation exposed the entire gang.

Seven laptops, 38 smart phones, 25 basic phones, two hard discs, two smartwatches and 114 sim cards were recovered from their possession, the police said.
