Kashmir man held for letting account to be used for fraud
Mumbai: A 25-year-old man from Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir was arrested for allegedly allowing his bank account to be used by cyber fraudsters. These fraudsters impersonated officials from the Telecom Regulatory Authority and as police officers. They threatened an 82-year-old woman, claiming that she was under investigation in a money laundering case, and extorted Rs 1.8 crore from her.
A team of Central Cyber Police arrested Tajmul Akbar Sofi from Kashmir on Monday and brought him to Mumbai on transit remand. The police team probing the case said that his interrogation would shed light on his mentors. The complaint was filed in Feb this year in Bandra. According to her complaint, the fraudster contacted her via WhatsApp call, identifying himself as "Rajveer Kundra" from TRAI. Then, one Rahul Gupta, posing as a Supreme Court official, sent her forged 'Supreme Court' documents to support the claim. tnn
