A father-son duo has been arrested by the Cyber Crime Police of the city crime branch in the friendship club fraud case.
Investigations revealed that Babu Latif Shaikh and his son Ejaz had provided mobile numbers to the operators of the club and were also handling monetary operations of the club.
Explaining the modus-operandi, the police said the gang published an advertisement in newspapers on the name of Aaliya Friendship Club. On payment of Rs10,200 membership fee, the club promised to connect their members to “smart, good-looking and high-profile women”.
When one of the victims contacted the club in October this year, he was told to deposit money in a bank account. When the club failed to meet their promise, the victim realised that he had been cheated and lodged a police complaint. Investigations revealed that it was a full-fledged racket in the garb of friendship club.
