Delhi: Promising home delivery of liquor, man dupes over 200; arrested

The Delhi Police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly cheating more than 200 people after promising to deliver liquor to their homes in the national capital, said officials Sunday.

According to the police, the accused told them during his interrogation he set up advertisements on Google using the names of famous liquor shops to promote his fake delivery business and cheat more people.

The accused, Azharuddin Khan, has a diploma in pharmacy from Rajasthan, they added.

A case was registered in Delhi’s Outer North district after a man lodged a complaint with the police last month. The man said he saw a YouTube video ad for home delivery of liquor with a mobile number as the contact detail, said the police.
