Noida: 2 held for running fake packers and movers firm
Two persons were arrested in Noida yesterday for allegedly duping people through a fake logistics company. The accused, identified as Rajesh alias Nihal Singh and Rajkumar, had also fraudulently got their company listed on online search portal Justdial. They were arrested after a software engineer, who recently relocated to Pune from Noida, approached the police alleging fraud and blackmail by Rose Packers and Movers.
Accused didn't deliver complainant's household items, threatened him when confronted
The complainant was told by the packers and movers that his household items worth over Rs. 10L would be delivered in Pune on October 28, four days after pickup. But even after 20 days, they didn't deliver those. When he contacted the driver of the truck that carried his items, he demanded extra money and threatened to destroy the items if he didn't pay.
Accused used cover of another popular service to look professional
Rajesh and Rajkumar have been booked under IPC Section 406 (criminal breach of trust). Police said the accused used their links in Justdial to get their phone number listed on the portal. They used the cover of another popular packers and movers service to appear professional. After collecting the items, they'd blackmail people to earn more money. They have been remanded in judicial custody.
