Two men held in Delhi for cheating

NEW DELHI - Two young men were arrested Friday on charges of cheating people and duping them of their valuables in Delhi, police said.

If somebody agreed, they handed over a bundle of papers packed, and run away taking their mobile phones or other expensive items,” a police officer said.
