Hyderabad: Cyber Crime Police arrested four persons from Delhi for cheating a Hyderabadi by promising to deliver a Honda Amaze car which was allegedly won by him.
The arrested suspects are Himanshu Sharma, Sumit Kumar, Jackson Paul and Mazhar Alam, all from Delhi.
On March 8 CCS received a complaint from Aleemuddin, a resident of Falaknuma, stating that in 2016, the accused Vijay Chauhan, of Crusebeen Enterprises Delhi, contacted him over phone and informed him that he was selected for a Honda Amaze Car Contest and was eligible for awards and other benefits.
