Ankur Meena, alias Happy, also known as “Meena Defaulter,” the alleged mastermind behind a massive dating app scam in India, has revealed shocking details during police interrogation. Meena claimed that he would generate up to Rs 20 lakh in business for clubs in a single day. Recently arrested by Bangur Nagar police, Meena confessed that club members were fully aware of the fraudulent activities, motivated by the desire to increase their profits. According to Meena, he personally trained the girls working for the dating app. Every 10 to 15 days, a new group of girls, many of whom had previously worked in Delhi and other states, would arrive in Mumbai to familiarise themselves with the job.
