Bhojpuri Actor and YouTuber Arrested for Credit Card Scam in Mumbai
According to a report in Mid-day, Dilip Kumar Sahu allegedly duped a 44-year-old Brihammumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) driver from Borivali of INR 3.5 lakh with a fraudulent cash-on-credit scam in May 2025. The fraud came to light after the victim filed a complaint with the Dahisar Cyber Cell. As per the victim, the fraud began after he was commuting to work at the Poisar Depot in Kandivali when he noticed a poster that read - Credit Card Se Cash Leejiye along with a mobile number, which he saved.
On May 13, the victim contacted the number and spoke to a man who identified himself as Dilip Kumar Sahu. He offered to provide cash to the driver in exchange for a credit card swipe, charging only 2.5 per cent commission. Trusting the offer, the victim shared his credit card details, including CVV and OTP, on WhatsApp. Shortly, he received INR 19,500 via Google Pay after a deduction of INR 500 from an INR 20,000 transaction. The victim reached out to Sahu again on May 16 and requested INR 3.5 lakh. After he shared details of his two credit cards, this time INR 3,50,020 was deducted across multiple transactions, but no amount was transferred to his account.
