Inter-State Iridium Scam Busted by Tamil Nadu Police

The CB-CID of Tamil Nadu police has successfully dismantled an inter-state iridium scam network with the arrest of six suspects. These individuals allegedly impersonated Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials, deceiving victims to the tune of Rs 5.65 crore, as confirmed by law enforcement on Friday.

The operation reportedly ensnared at least 23 individuals across multiple states, utilizing elaborate schemes that included fake interviews and forged documents. The scheme was exposed when a victim from Coimbatore reported a loss of Rs 3 crore to individuals posing as iridium trade businessmen.

The accused were apprehended across various states, and a case of cheating, criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and document forgery has been registered. As the investigation progresses, authorities urge any other victims to come forward with complaints.
