New Delhi, Jan 17 (IANS) Delhi Police have arrested five people, including two employees of a private bank and an aspiring model, for allegedly cheating people by withdrawing nearly two Rs.2 million from their accounts by misusing phone banking facilities.
“Amit Chauhan, Raman Preet Singh, two bank employees - Ashish Tiwari and Deepak Malik - and struggling model Sunil Grover were arrested Saturday on the basis of a complaint by the ICICI bank,” a senior police officer said.

“They used to collect information on bank customers by approaching to them in the guise of bank officials and making them fill out their personal details in a feedback form. They would then use these details to cheat their victims,” the officer added.

“More than Rs. 20 lakh (Rs.2 million) had so far been fraudulently withdrawn by the gang from five branches of ICICI Bank in Delhi and NOIDA,” he said.

Police also recovered a car and motor cycle, nine cell phones, duplicate identity cards, voter cards, driving licenses and other material from them.
