The Delhi Police on Wednesday busted a gang of cheat following a complaint from State Bank of India. According to the complaint received at Subhash Place, unknown persons had obtained credit cards using forged documents and siphoned off nearly ₹20 lakh.

The accused have been identified as Harvinder Singh (29), Vicky alias Balvinder Singh (30) and Kapil Kumar (30). The police said Harvinder was apprehended from Haryana.

He told the police that he hatched a conspiracy along with Balvinder and Kapil. They obtained data of potential customers with the help of Kapil, who worked in the credit card department of a bank earlier.

Vicky would contact banks for credit cards using different mobile numbers, addresses and names. He and Kapil would get them delivered to their address and withdraw cash using these cards. Six fake PAN cards, three fake Aadhaar cards, two credit cards, one scooty, one LED TV and seven mobile phones have been recovered, the police said.
