According to police officials, a shopkeeper named Atal Bajaj lodged a complaint on Thursday. In which he said that a resident of Lajpat Nagar ordered him some goods.
When the delivery boy arrived at the address with the goods, he met a young man named Vakash who said that he was the driver of the landlord.
"Vakash took the goods and the balance amount of Rs 1,700 from the delivery boy and said that he was bringing Rs 2,000."
