Welcome to India Press Live breaking news! In Mumbai, the police have taken action against three individuals who were involved in a cyber fraud scheme. These individuals provided their bank accounts to fraudsters who deceived a share trading professional out of more than Rs 61 lakh by offering high returns on investments.
Details of the Arrest
The North Regional Cyber police uncovered the illegal activity and apprehended the three suspects – Lachen Shopie, Bhimbahadur Pradhan, and Ramesh Kumar Abhimanyu. These individuals allowed cyber criminals to use their bank accounts to hide the stolen funds.
Victim’s Story
The victim, Sunilkumar Sajjankumar Mishra, was lured into a WhatsApp group that posed as an online share market coaching platform. He was promised a 30% return on his investment and ended up putting in Rs 61.31 lakh. However, when he tried to withdraw the money, he was asked to pay a 21% tax fee, which raised suspicions for Mishra.
Despite refusing to pay the tax, Mishra was unable to retrieve his invested funds. Through technical surveillance and thorough investigation, the police were able to track down and apprehend the three suspects. Authorities believe that there may be a larger network of cyber criminals involved in similar investment scams.
