During the investigation, police arrested Deepak Goel, an ex-employee of the company. “He used to download the data of customers of the company from the company’s computer and further with the help of his Gmail ID, Goel used to send the data of the customers in an Excel sheet to his associate Ashish Singh,” deputy commissioner of police (crime) Manoj C said.
Goel used to receive Rs 18,000 every month from Singh in his bank account in return for the transfer of data. “We conducted several raids at the residence of the co-accused, Singh, who also worked at the company earlier. A non-bailable warrant was issued from the court and he was arrested from Amethi later,” the officer said.

Police said that both the accused had worked in the complainant’s company for 10 years. One of them lost his job during Covid-19 pandemic.
