Mumbai (PTI): The Government Railway Police (GRP) have busted a gang involved in stealing mobile phones and siphoning money through illegal online transfers after arresting four persons from Nashik, an official said here on Thursday.

He said the gang’s method of operation involved borrowing mobile phones under the pretext of making a call and fleeing with them.
