Srinagar, Dec 14 (IANS) Police here said on Thursday it has busted a gang of fraudsters that cheated over 30 business establishments in the Kashmir Valley.

Two persons, identified as Tahir Amin and Waheed Bhat, have been arrested. The duo, along with a woman, have been cheating people for the last six months, a police officer said.
