New Delhi, Aug 11 - A senior sales manager with a private life insurance firm and his accomplice have been arrested here for allegedly duping at least 60 people on the pretext of getting them credit cards and easy bank loans, police said Tuesday.

Navin Kumar, who heads a team of 35 sales executives in the insurance arm of HDFC, and his accomplice Mohammad Yusuf alias Durgesh Kumar were arrested last week following a complaint by Vimal Kishore Jugran, a resident of Sarojini Nagar area, police said.

Police have recovered from the arrested men 23 mobile SIM cards, six mobile handsets, 10 debit cards and four credit cards of various banks, including the State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, ING Vyasa Bank, Vijaya Bank and ABN Amro Bank, a computer with stolen data of insurance customers, fake identity cards and a 'magic pen'.

Jugran in his complaint said Navin Kumar called up him Aug 2 claiming to be the sales manager of ICICI Bank. Kumar offered him a 'gold credit card' against his insurance policy and said he can avail loans against this credit card, according to Jugran's complaint.

Police said Jugran agreed to his offer as he badly needed funds due to a medical problem in the family.

Kumar then told Jugran to provide a crossed and signed cheque, salary slips, bank statements, two photographs and a photocopy of his insurance policy.
