Presenting their services in the garb of ‘oxygen therapy,’ the couple told people that they were aging because of the pollution in the air. ACP Anjali Vishwakarma said that the convicts offered packages ranging from Rs 6,000 for ten sessions and a Rs 90,000 package for a three-year transformation plan.
