directors of Webwork Trade Links Pvt Ltd, an online social trading company, were arrested by Uttar Pradesh police from the office of Senior Superinten­dent of police (SSP) in Surajpur on Friday.

The company had allegedly been involved in cheating people along the lines of Ablaze Info Solutions Private Limited. The arrested directors were Anurag Garg, 40, and Sandesh Verma, 30.

On February 13, the Sector 20 police had registered a case against the two directors, based on a complaint lodged by a Ghaziabad-based insurance agent AK Jain. Subsequent­ly, their office in Sector 20 was raided.

Sensing trouble, Garg and Verma escaped from the city and had been evading arrest ever since.

Police said that on Friday, the duo had come to the office of SSP Dharmendra Singh in Surajpur, to plead innocence that their company was doing a fair online trading business. They were arrested from there.

“Two cases of cheating were already registered against the two directors. We had thoroughly investigat­ed their frauds and involvemen­t in duping gullible people. I listened to them patiently and later ordered the team to arrest them,” Singh said.

Singh said that the directors’ visit to his office was a gimmick to distract the police from inves- tigating the case. “They thought they would come directly to my office and it would prove their innocence. Since February 13, we have come across their fake schemes and records. Both have been arrested now, more developmen­ts will follow with their confession,” he said.
