A wad of ‘cash', a plea for help: 3 of family held for duping women of their gold jewellery in Outer Delhi
A crowded market, a bundle of fake notes, and a cry for help- this is how three family members allegedly duped several women of their gold jewellery in the Outer Delhi markets. The trio identified as Laxman, his wife, and their daughter-in-law, was arrested by the Delhi Police on Monday. Upon questioning, the police found out the family duped women using a carefully orchestrated modus operandi of defrauding. The trio, as police terms, were gaddibaz (bundle users) fraudsters. In this type of fraud, a couple of Indian currency notes is placed on top of a bundle of paper, making it look like huge wads of cash, and offered to the customers in exchange of something. According to the police, the case came to light on Monday, when a team of the Special Staff of the Outer District received a tip-off about individuals trying to dupe women in the Ranhola market. 'While patrolling near Sai Baba Mandir, Vikas Nagar, the team received a tip-off about the presence of suspicious individuals who were reportedly cheating people….,' DCP (Outer) Sachin Sharma said. When the police reached the spot, a man and two women were seen interacting with another woman who was a passerby. The man had his hands folded, while the women were dangling a bundle of notes in front of the passerby, the police said. 'Upon noticing the police presence, the trio attempted to flee, but the alert staff acted swiftly and apprehended all of them,' DCP Sharma said. On how the family went about duping women, a police officer said, 'The trio targeted women in markets, who came from low-income localities, and wore modest gold jewellery. They would tell the victims that they have to go to their village as their son is on his deathbed. Then, the trio would show the women currency notes and tell them that they are scared to carry the cash in the train. They would then offer to exchange the currency notes for the jewellery the women are wearing.' When the women would tell the accused that the money offered is more than the value of their jewellery, the family would start sobbing, the officer added. 'They would say their son's life is more important,' the officer added. According to the police, the crying coupled with the prospect of getting huge amounts of money in exchange for the cheap jewellery made them feel less suspicious of the family's intentions. Upon questioning the trio, the police found out that the family had targeted a woman also on July 17. 'The accused admitted to having duped a woman in the jurisdiction of Ranhola. It was found that a case had already been registered in this regard under sections 303(2), 318(4), 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),' DCP Sharma said. According to police officers, gaddibaz fraudsters are becoming more prominent in the outer district of the Capital. In July alone, over 15 such fraudsters have been arrested. 'It's difficult to control them. They come out of jail easily and keep repeating the offence. They are in touch with each other and help other groups in targeting unsuspecting women,' an officer said.
