Delhi police arrested cyber fraudster

Delhi Police has arrested a cyber fraudster, who posed as a casting agent for a reputed music company to cheat aspiring actors and models by offering them fake roles in music videos. Police said the accused, identified as Rahul Dev (33), is a resident of Faridabad and he was nabbed from Chandigarh.

The case came to light when a woman from Shahdara filed a complaint alleging that she had been approached via social media by a man claiming to be from a music company’s casting team. The woman was informed that she had been shortlisted for a role in an upcoming music video and was asked to pay `20,462 for flight bookings to attend an audition in Mumbai, with the promise of later reimbursement, police said.
