The main conspirator of
Paytm KYC scam, where rural people were cheated of money after being promised a
free electric bulb to renew their KYC, has been arrested.
The arrest was made following a complaint filed by
Dharmendrasinh Sodha, a resident of Shilaj, and general manager of EasyPay Private Limited. Sodha's company has authorised business correspondents for
several banks and appoints agents and distributors in many cities offering services such as money transfer, payment of funds through Aadhar Card and bill payment. Sodha was alerted after he received a complaint of fraud by his agents.

Jitendra Yadav said Sabarmati resident
Prashant Shah operated Utkarsh Human Resources Pvt Ltd. His men ran PayTm KYC kiosks in MP, assured an electric bulb to those who renewed their KYC. They used the platform to get the Aadhar card number and
fingerprint of gullible persons. The fingerprints were then sent to Delhi and turned into hard fingerprints which fetched good money for Shah. Those who bought the hard fingerprints posed as Easy Pay agents and stole funds of hundreds of bank clients.
