Cheats target LIC customers

Three men have been arrested in west Delhi for cheating on the pretext of providing a Life Insurance Corporation bonus of Rs 2.4 lakh. The gang targeted LIC and MTNL’s customers, police said on Saturday.
The accused have been identified as Keshav Kumar, 28, Gurpal Singh, 25, and Pawan Pal Singh, 26. The gang was busted after a victim named Yashpal Dhawan approached Rajouri Garden police station. Yashpal had been receiving phone calls in which the caller introduced himself as an official of LIC’s head office in Mumbai.
“The caller informed that Yashpal had won a bonus of Rs 2.4 lakh from LIC,” said Pushpender Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West). Yashpal was asked to provide his voter ID card, two photographs and a processing fees of Rs 30,000. They claimed the fee had to be paid through cheque and the amount will be refunded with the bonus.
Yashpal had been told to send the cheque through courier, but he refused and asked the caller to send an employee to collect it. On January 2, a man met Yashpal and took the cheque of State Bank of India. On the same day, Yashpal contacted LIC, but found that he had been duped.
Over Yashpal’s statement, a case of cheating was registered with Rajouri Garden police station. The police team contacted the courier company and apprehended Keshav, Gurpal and Pawan. They told police that a man named Rupinder is the mastermind of the conspiracy. Rupinder was working with Reliance Life Insurance, but was not satisfied with the job.
In April 2014, he came in contact with a man named Ram Singh, who asked him to open a call center and sell membership of his City Club and ICI Club. “Rupinder opened a call center. But nobody was willing to take the membership of the clubs,” Kumar added.
Rupinder then hatched a conspiracy to cheat people on the pretext of bonus in LIC. He involved Pawan and Gurpal to obtain a list of residents having MTNL landlines connection. They analysed that MTNL phones were mostly used by senior citizens.
They asked victims to pay money ranging from Rs 15,000 to 50,000 as processing fee which would be refunded. Pawan worked in a call centre operated to contact victims.
