Girl among 3 held in honey trap case
The police have arrested three members of a gang for extorting Rs 7.66 lakh from a Sunny Enclave youth by honey-trapping him. Those arrested have been identified as Dharminder and Arshdeep — both natives of Barnala, who are currently residing in Zirakpur — and Pooja Taneja, a Karnal native.

The trio coerced him to withdraw Rs 7.66 lakh through his credit card and fled with his laptop, mobile phone and some valuables.
The suspects reportedly bought three iPhones using Aditya's credit card.
