The accused, identified as Tarun Kumar Agarwal (20) was arrested in this connection on Friday while his other associates, identified as Sanjeev Kumar (23), Giriraj Kishore Varshney (30) and Rajesh Narula (39) were arrested yesterday. All four are residents of Hathras, Uttar Pradesh.
The gang came under police scanner when one Rajesh Sharma, Director M/s Astro Science Technologies, Pvt approached police and alleged that some persons are selling products without authorization on behalf of his company (popularly known as Lal Kitab).
A case in this regard was registered and investigations were taken up by the Cyber Cell of Delhi Police.

Careful analysis of the call records, the courier delivery receipts and enquiries from the victims revealed that Hathras in UP was the hub of this racket.
