₹150-crore online fraud: Three more arrested in racket floated by Chinese

Three more people, including a company secretary working in a private firm in Gurugram, have been arrested in connection with the cheating case where over half a million Indians were duped of over ₹150 crore in two months through an online multilevel marketing (MLM) racket allegedly floated by some Chinese citizens in connivance with their Indian counterparts, police said on Tuesday.

The case is being probed by the Cyber Prevention, Awareness and Detection centre (CyPAD) of the Delhi Police.

Investigators said the company secretary, identified as Rajni Kohli, who is in her forties, created 36 shell companies, appointed “dummy directors and other employees” and shared the bank account details of the companies with the Chinese nationals.
