New Delhi, August 1, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Delhi Police’s East District has busted a fraud involving a fake packers and movers company and arrested a 26-year-old man accused of cheating a customer by withholding household goods after demanding additional payment.
Police recovered the complainant’s entire household consignment from Gurugram, Haryana, and also found that the accused was linked to another criminal case.
The case was registered at Laxmi Nagar Police Station after an e-FIR was filed on July 12 under Sections 305 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on a complaint by Kumar Vikash Anand, a resident of Laxmi Nagar.
According to police, Anand had hired the services of Space Logistics Packers and Movers to transport his household belongings from Delhi to Bihar. Representatives of the firm collected his goods in two instalments on July 1 and July 8.
However, instead of delivering the consignment, the accused allegedly demanded an additional ₹20,000 from the complainant. After initially paying ₹500, Anand transferred the remaining ₹19,500, but the goods were neither delivered nor was the money returned.
Following the complaint, a police team began an investigation using technical surveillance and digital evidence analysis. The team, led by Head Constable Manoj Khari and Head Constable Praveen Teotia under the supervision of Laxmi Nagar SHO Inspector Ramesh Partap and guidance of ACP Preet Vihar Nithya Radhakrishnan, traced the accused.
The accused, identified as Ajay Kumar Singh, a resident of Vishnu Garden in Gurugram, was arrested following intelligence inputs and technical analysis.
During questioning, Singh revealed the location where the household items had been stored. Police recovered 15 carton boxes containing a refrigerator, washing machine, LCD television, kitchen utensils and other household articles from Gurugram.
Further investigation revealed that Singh was also wanted in another criminal case registered at Shakarpur Police Station under Section 316(2) of the BNS.
Police said further investigation is underway to ascertain the full extent of the fraud and identify possible involvement of others.
