“Arman is the main accused since he created the profile and did all the chatting with the victim, but Hussaini, the husband of Arman’s sister, was arrested since the victim has deposited money in his bank account too. They registered a phone number on Truecaller as actor Arya and shared it to those who asked for the contact number,” said an official.
