A gang of three people on Friday arrested by Gandhinagar police for luring customers towards call girls, taking payments and then duping them
According to a press statement by the Crime Branch in Gandhinagar, police had been informed a gang, operating out of Gandhinagar, which lures people into getting connected with call girls through a website and finally duping them of money.
Based on a tip-off, a team lead by PSI MJ Shinde conducted a raid at one of the flats in the Atlantic Society, near Agora Mall in Sughad village of the district.
They found Vijay Chauhan (38); a resident of Siddhi Complex in Chandkheda, Jagdish Ahir (33), originally hailing from Mahuva in Bhavnagar but now a resident of Satyam Residency Flats in Naroda in Ahmedabad and Kalpesh Gohil (23), originally a resident of Valbhipur in Bhavnagar, but now residing at the same flat.
Chauhan admitted about the racket during interrogation. He informed the police that he hired websites from his Delhi-based friends. He would put his mobile numbers on the website and lure customers towards it. He would then show the customers, photos of beautiful women and then induce them into getting connected with the call girls.
After gaining the trusts of the customers, they would collect money from them in order to pay for different charges of the call girls. The money was deposited into specific bank accounts.
However, after sufficient money has been collected from the customers they were dumped. They would also block the numbers of the customers so that they could not connect again. The entire operation was conducted from the flat in the Atlantic Society.
"While they operated from the flat, it was not used to provide call girl service," said Mayur Chavda, District Superintendent of Police of Gandhinagar. The police also recovered Rs 1,28,100 in cash, 7 cell phones and diary that had all transactions details.
