The alleged kingpin of the gang is a high school pass out Amit Chauhan. Chauhan is also an expert at forging signatures.

The accused went to the extent of even creating fake customer grievance forms to get more personal details about their targets. Delhi Police have recovered 13 forged driving licenses, three forged voter id cards and several other documents used to the carry out the perfect crime.
