Two Arrested in Thoothukudi in Separate Cyber Fraud Cases
Two suspected mule account holders were arrested for assisting in ‘digital arrest’ and ‘investment’ scams.
They allowed scamsters to use their bank accounts for receiving and transferring fraud money in exchange for commission.
A 73-year-old senior citizen from Mylapore was cheated of ₹4.15 crore by fraudsters who impersonated top investigative agencies.
The gang used WhatsApp, forged documents, and intimidation claiming CBI, ED, Interpol and Supreme Court involvement.
Technical analysis revealed the WhatsApp number belonged to Manish Kumar (23) from Jhansi, who was later arrested.
Police seized 3 mobile phones, cheque books, debit cards, QR scanners, and bank passbooks used for fraudulent transactions.
