Sagar Mishra, held last week, posted advertisements to sell an SUV on the website where second-hand goods are sold. To take the buyer into confidence, he uploaded his photograph in the Army uniform on his profile, a senior police official said.
He would then collect the payment for the vehicle through online banking, but never delivered the vehicle to the buyer, he said.
Using this modus operandi Mishra duped eight to ten persons, the official said.
