Cyber ​​Fraud In Meerut: Police has arrested four cyber fraudsters who defrauded a retired bank employee of Rs 1.74 crore by digitally arresting him in Meerut. Three of these accused have been arrested from other states and one fraudster has been arrested from Meerut. Meerut SSP Vipin Tada has busted this gang.

Retired bank employee Suraj Prakash, who lives in Pandav Nagar area of ​​Meerut, was digitally arrested and duped of Rs. 1.74 crore. By the time the old man came to know about it, it was too late. A case was registered in the cyber cell and Meerut SSP Vipin Tada dispatched three teams to Maharashtra, Telangana and West Bengal. The surveillance team's strong grip led the Meerut police to the cyber thugs.

The police arrested Nilesh Balkrishna from Maharashtra and Naved Ejaz Syed from Thane. The other team arrested Namijala Rajkumar from Telangana. Somyasis Pine, a resident of Kolkata, was arrested from Meerut. The mobile number used in the fraud is in the name of Somyasis Pine.

Meerut SSP Vipin Tada said that Nilesh, who
was arrested from Maharashtra, had given his firm's name and account on rent for Rs 1 lakh per month. After facing loss in business, he joined a gang of fraudsters. After cheating retired bank employee Suraj, accused Nilesh transferred Rs 90 lakh to the ICICI Bank account of Balkrishna.

Soon after, 49 lakh 90 thousand rupees were transferred to the account of Naved Ejaz Syed. Naved Ejaz Syed bought crypto currency with the cheated money. Meanwhile, Somysis Pine said that using his mobile phone, cyber thugs got Suraj Prakash to transfer 45 lakh rupees to Bandhan Bank account via UPI. Along with this, Suraj Prakash got 8 lakh 80 thousand rupees transferred to Rajkumar's wife's Punjab National Bank account.

To trap people and transfer the cheated amount to the bank account, they used to add people to groups through WhatsApp and Telegram. They were lured with the promise of renting their accounts for Rs 10,000 per month and people got trapped in this trap. This is how people were also trapped who were to be cheated by digital arrest. Meerut SSP Vipin Tada said that Namajila Rajkumar, a resident of Telangana, had opened 12 accounts of himself and his wife on the advice of someone. Many of these accounts were given to the trading company for use.
