Delhi Police Crime Branch has busted a gang of crooks operating in Delhi in the disguise of tour operators and has arrested three gang members of Lapka gang. They misguide and cheat the international travelers, by duping them of their hard-earned money, without caring for the disrepute they are bringing to our country.
According to the police, the modus operandi followed by the gang is that one of the gang members contacts the foreign travellers and misleads them either by displaying a fake placard at the Airport or by talking to him at the Railway Stations and other prominent places.
These crooks are known as “Kalaakar” in their trade. After misleading the foreigner, the Kalaakar hands him over to “Cutter” ie another person/group. Their work is to misguide the foreigner by selling a fake story such as the roads in Delhi are all choked or due to some festival, the roads are blocked and will remain so for another few days or that the entry of foreigners in Delhi has been banned due to some problem or curfew.
