Gurugram: Frauds mortgage, sell four luxury cars after getting them on rent; mastermind held

The Gurugram Police have busted a gang that allegedly defrauded a person by mortgaging and selling their luxury vehicles after renting them out for weddings and events.

The Gurugram Police on Saturday said it has busted a gang that allegedly defrauded a person by mortgaging and selling his luxury vehicles after acquiring them on the pretext of renting them out for weddings and events.

The alleged mastermind, Krishna Dixit (23) -- a resident Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri district -- has been arrested in this connection, an official said.

Earlier, police had arrested another suspect associated with the gang, and recovered a Fortuner from his possession, he added.

According to police, on October 17, 2025, a person submitted a complaint stating that he had let out his four luxury vehicles to Krishna Dixit and his associates, for renting them out for weddings and events.

The accused initially gained the complainant's trust by paying rent for one vehicle for some time, but later stopped making payments.

In addition, the accused also manipulated the complainant to transfer around Rs 10 lakh online under the pretext of organising an event.

Later, the complainant learnt that the accused had allegedly mortgaged or sold his vehicles to others.

Based on this, a case was registered under relevant sections at New Colony police station.

The team of Sector 17-based crime unit arrested the alleged mastermind Dixit on Friday, police said.

''During interrogation, it was revealed that the accused, along with his associate Harish and other accomplices had conspired and taken luxury vehicles from the complainant on rent.

Thereafter, instead of paying rent, the accused mortgaged/sold the vehicles to other persons and also cheated the complainant of Rs 10 lakh in the name of organising a wedding event,'' the Gurugram Police spokesperson said.

Another accused, Harish Khatri, had been arrested in this connection earlier, and a Fortuner was recovered from his possession, he said.

The accused are being questioned to ascertain the extent of the fraud, the spokesperson said, adding that a case related to theft and cheating is already registered against the accused Krishna Dixit in Gurugram.
