The accused has been identified as Harpreet Singh and police have recovered two mobile phones and two sim cards were recovered from him.

As per police, the victim Narinder Singh approached them in November 2021 alleging that a Facebook user by the name of Parveen Sharma had sent him a message asking if he wants a job. Upon following up, he was told to get in touch with a Harpreet and he sent ₹70,000 to him. But, he didn’t get the job.

Police are verifying how many people Harpreet has duped.
