The accused, Amar Sharma, a resident of Juhi Lal Colony in Kidwainagar, was nabbed by the Telangana police. They, with the assistance of local law enforcement, detained Amar Sharma on Saturday night.
After securing a transit remand from the local court on Sunday, the Telangana police took him with them. Amar and an accomplice, Nikhil, had tricked the businessman by promising profits in stock investments, the police said and added that Nikhil was already captured in Delhi.
The investigation revealed that Amar Sharma contacted the Hyderabad businessman via Facebook and suggested investing in the stock market with promises of quick, substantial returns. He allegedly defrauded the businessman of Rs 1.98 crore through these investment schemes. When the businessman realised the fraud, he demanded his money back but received only excuses from the accused. He then lodged a police complaint.
The police first arrested Nikhil in Delhi, who, during questioning, implicated Amar. Following this lead, the Telangana law enforcement agency coordinated with the Kidwai Nagar police station and arrested Amar at his home.
Inspector Kidwai Nagar police station Dharmendra Kumar Ram confirmed that the accused in the cyber fraud case was arrested by Telangana police, who took him to Telangana after taking him into custody.

Reforms in last 11 years led to transparent, sensitive, citizen-centric governance: PM Modi
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that sweeping reforms introduced by his government over the past 11 years have transformed India's governance model into one that is transparent, sensitive, and citizen-centric. Citing the success of the JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, and Mobile) trinity, Modi said that the initiative had plugged massive leakages in welfare schemes and prevented the theft of over Rs 4.30 lakh crore that was allegedly being siphoned off through 10 lakh fake beneficiaries under previous regimes. "Approximately 10 crore beneficiaries listed under various schemes such as the ration card, gas subsidy, and scholarships were found to be nonexistent. These individuals, who never actually existed, were being used by previous governments to funnel money to middlemen. However, these 10 crore fake names have now been removed from the list of beneficiaries by the incumbent government. According to an estimate, this cleanup has resulted in savings of over Rs 4.30 lakh crore, which would have otherwise gone into the wrong hands. Imagine theft of Rs 4.30 lakh crore. Now, this amount is being used for the development of this country," the prime minister said. PM Modi was speaking at an event at Kartavya Path after inaugurating Kartavya Bhavan (Common Central Secretariat Building) 3, the first of the 10 state-of-the-art Central government office complexes planned as part of the Central Vista redevelopment plan. These blocks will house offices of all ministries and associated departments, presently functioning from Shastri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan, Udyog Bhawan, Nirman Bhawan, North and South Blocks and other buildings located at different locations.
