Two individuals from Gujarat's Surendranagar district have been apprehended by the Delhi Police for their alleged part in a cyber fraud case that defrauded a Delhi woman of Rs 7 lakh. This arrest is a significant breakthrough in uncovering a complex cybercrime network.
The accused, identified as Soyebbhai Multani, 24, employed as a salesman at a tractor firm, and Aslambhai Multani, 37, a dairy farm operator, were reportedly involved in arranging mule bank accounts. These accounts were used for withdrawals of the duped amount, earning them a commission in return.
The fraud came to light when a government hospital nursing officer reported receiving a call on July 19, falsely accusing her of involvement in a money laundering scheme. The caller, impersonating an official, convinced her to transfer Rs 7 lakh under the pretense of surveillance. Investigations revealed monetary transfers across accounts in Jharkhand and Gujarat, culminating in the arrests following coordinated raids.
