Faridabad, Jan 27 (PTI) Two men were arrested for allegedly duping a man of Rs 3,22,000 in a Telegram by luring him with promises of huge profits, police said on Tuesday.
The matter came to light when a resident of NIT-5 in Faridabad filed a complaint saying he received a link on his WhatsApp on November 15, 2025, police said.
Upon clicking the link, he joined a Telegram group where he was lured with the promise of earning substantial profits by completing different tasks.

Based on the complaint, a case was registered at the Cyber Police Station, NIT, the police informed further.
