New Delhi : Three people were arrested here for running a fake maid placement bureau and duping at least 20 people, police said Monday.
Arvind Kamat, 20, Sukhi Mukhiya, 25, and Shyam Kumar, 28, were arrested on a complaint by businessman Anuj Gandhi.
Kamat was arrested from west Delhi’s Matiala Extension area last week and his aides were taken into custody following his interrogation, police said.
According to Gandhi, the trio provided him a maid in exchange for an annual commission of Rs.18,000. The maid was to be paid a monthly salary of Rs.2,500.
On Oct 14, Mukhiya alias Pankaj took Rs.8,000 from Gandhi and provided him a maid, who ran away from the house the next day, he said.
Later, he tried to call Mukhiya but his cell phone was found switched off, police said.
During investigation, it was revealed that the gang members had duped at least 20 people, a police official said.
Police said the gang members changed their hideouts and mobile numbers frequently to conceal their identity.
