GURUGRAM: Four men were arrested from Hisar for allegedly duping people by offering them iPhones through social media, police said on Wednesday.

They were identified as Sunny, Aniket, Hitesh Jangra, and Mukesh alias Rohit — all of them Hisar natives.

An investigation was launched by the Cyber Police when they received a ₹30,000 fraud complaint on January 29.

"During interrogation, it was revealed that the main accused, Mukesh alias Rohit, used to commit fraud in the name of selling iPhones through social media," ACP, Cyber, Priyanshu Dewan said.

Six mobile phones, one ATM card, two bank passbooks, and ₹18,000 in cash recovered from their possession were seized.

They have been on four days' police remand, after which they would be produced in a city court, police said. PTI
