Police said that with their arrest scam in the name of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been exposed. 

The Hindi daily's report said that the couple allegedly swindled company agents to deposite CSR amount in their fund. They used to showcase a bag full of cash to portray legitimacy in the process. However, bags were filled with fake notes.
