Traders Arrested for Attempting to Cremate Mannequin for Insurance Fraud

Two men in Delhi tried to trick people by burning a fake body, called a mannequin, at a cremation place.

They wanted to pretend the mannequin was a real person who had died so they could get Rs 50 lakh from an insurance company.

The plan was to use this money to pay off a big debt.

But a worker at the cremation place got suspicious and found out it was a mannequin.

The police caught the two men, and they admitted to the plan.

The real person whose name they used for the insurance didn't know anything about it.

The police are still looking for the other two men who ran away.
