The Mumbai police have arrested three persons for providing their bank accounts to cyber fraudsters, who duped a share trading professional of over Rs 61 lakh by promising attractive returns on investment, an official said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The North Regional Cyber police busted the racket and arrested the trio, identified as Lachen Shopie, Bhimbahadur Pradhan and Ramesh Kumar Abhimanyu.<\/p>\n
The trio provided their bank accounts to cyber fraudsters, who would use them to park the siphoned off money, he said.<\/p>\n
The complainant in the case, Sunilkumar Sajjankumar Mishra (51), was added to a WhatsApp group last year through an unknown number. The group functioned like an online share market coaching platform, he added.<\/p>\n
Mishra invested Rs 61.31 lakh as he was promised a 30 per cent return. Later, when he contacted the customer care number, he was informed that a 21 per cent tax payment was required for withdrawing the amount.<\/p>\n
Finding this suspicious, Mishra refused to pay the tax. However, he failed to get the invested amount either.<\/p>\n
Based on the technical surveillance and investigation, police identified and detained the three accused, the official said, adding that the police suspect a larger network of cyber criminals was involved in similar investment frauds.<\/p>\n
