The South Cyber Police Station has arrested a 22-year-old man, identified as Mohammed Naved Salim Shaikh, in a major online fraud case involving a total of ₹33 lakh.
The accused, a resident of Room No. 409, D-Wing, 1st Floor, Azad Nagar, 60 Feet Road, Janata Co-operative Housing Society, Dharavi, was taken into custody from Taloja Central Jail, where he was already lodged in connection with another cybercrime case.
The fresh case pertains to a financial scam in which the complainant was cheated of ₹33 lakh. During investigation, police traced ₹7 lakh of this fraudulent amount to a C Bank account.
A deeper analysis revealed that ₹3.2 lakh from the same account had been transferred further to another bank account held by Mohammed Naved Salim Shaikh, confirming his involvement in the fraudulent transaction chain.
