Bihar police has busted a gang of cyber scammers who allegedly offered money to men to "impregnate" women who were not able to conceive a child with their partners. The police have arrested eight people from the state's Nawada district for allegedly luring men on the pretext of 'All India Pregnant Job (Baby Birth Service)' and offering them to earn Rs 13 lakhs if they "impregnate" a woman and Rs 5 lakhs if they could not.

According to the police, the group charged a registration fee of Rs 799 from those who showed an interest and later sought an additional amount as security money ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 20,000.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Bihar police arrested the gang members in an operation on Dec 29, the police said.
