Then he generated a down payment link of Rs. 30,000 which was received via PayU app on WhatsApp, the complaint said.As per the finance plan, the complainant agreed to pay Rs. 30,000 as down payment and the remaining amount in easy monthly instalments (EMIs), the complainant added.The complainant further stated that he rceived an email where the sanctioned amount was shown as Rs. 72,000 and the rest was required to be paid by him. After getting the email, he talked to that person again, who suggested that he pay the remaining amount.At this, the complainant said he agreed to pay the amount and asked him to start the transfer process.Subsequently, the caller rang up the complainant and told him that the two-wheeler would be dispatched that day itself but he had to pay the remaining amount and an additional Rs 13,000 as delivery charge.The cyber crime cell launched a probe after eceiving the complaint and eventually busted the gang.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
