A victim of cybercrime in Delhi became an offender, duping people under the pretense of offering discounts on iPhone purchases via his Instagram page.
The accused, Manish Tiwari, a resident of Jawahar Nagar, duped people using the same method that he was duped with.
He used to deceive people by selling iPhones at lower prices. The incident came to light after Delhi Police received a report from the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
The complainant stated that he saw an Instagram page run by the accused. He used to give out big discounts on iPhones like the Apple iPhone 13 Pro.
