How corporate executives in Noida got honey-trapped on gay dating app

NOIDA : The five robbers arrested by the Noida police a day before had allegedly looted several people they met through a dating application for gays, officials said on Tuesday. The accused would chat with gullible targets on the app and set up a meeting and then rob them of their valuables, including jewellery or cash, the officials said.

The five were also allegedly involved in several cases of loot and robberies, a senior officer said.

The five accused, all natives of neighbouring Bulandshahr district, were travelling in a stolen car when they were held by the officers from the Phase 3 police station after an encounter in which two of them had suffered bullet injuries, according to police.
