Rajesh, Narender and Mamta Arora were arrested yesterday and fake rubber stamps of different mobile tower companies, information letter, rent agreement and job appointment letters of different mobile tower companies were recovered from their possession.

The trio duped many persons on the fake promise of installing mobile towers and they were arrested after police came to know about the gang which issues advertisements in this regard.

Police used a decoy customer to contact Rajesh, who said that he knew 25 people from different areas in NCR interested in installing mobile towers at their field, rooftop and vacant plots.

As per the plan, Rajesh picked up the decoy customer from Rohini yesterday and got Rs 4,000 as registration fee and gave him information letter, rent agreement and job appointment letter of American Tower Company.

"This document was prepared by him alongwith his associates namely Narender and Mamta Arora alias Chhavi present in his office. They also put rubber stamp of American Tower Company and signed on the documents. As soon as a deal was completed, the shadow witness came out from office and signalled to the police party which was waiting outside the office," a senior police official said.

The police team immediately raided the office and apprehended Rajesh, Narender and Mamta. The cops recovered Rs 4,000 given by the decoy customer for installation of mobile tower.

A number of documents, articles and a car were recovered from their possession. During interrogation, Rajesh and Narender disclosed that they were previously involved in several crime incidents.
