He was arrested in Noida using electronic surveillance,” said Umesh Kumar Naithani, station house officer, Sector 24.Avinash, who works at a sweet shop in Sector 22 and whose ID was being used to send messages, told HT, “Around two to three days back, Subhash, who earlier worked with me in the same sweet shop, asked me to give him my bike aggregator ID, as there were some offers and he wanted to use it for a while. He also promised me to pay some amount from the profit. In good faith, I have given him the access of my ID, which was unused for past sometime.”“I never imagined that he could do this. I came to know about the incident after a police officer called me and asked me to come to the police station, as there were few challans on my bike. Later, when I informed them that my ID was used by Subhash, they allowed me to go, and he was taken into custody,” added Avinash.
