The hyberabad police have arrested Suresh Kumar Babulal in connection with a high-profile digital fraud case involving an amount of Rs. 1.37 crore. Babulal, along with two absconding accomplices, Neeraj Sahu and Partipal Sinharee, is accused of scamming a victim through a fake “digital arrest” scheme.
The fraudsters, who impersonated Mumbai Police officers, falsely accused the victim of being involved in a money laundering operation. They threatened the victim with serious legal consequences, coercing him into transferring the large sum of Rs. 1.37 crore to their bank accounts.
The victim, fearing legal repercussions, complied with the demands and transferred the amount to the account of Suresh Kumar Babulal. However, once the fraud was discovered, the victim contacted the authorities, leading to Babulal’s arrest. Efforts are currently underway by the hyberabad police to capture the absconding suspects, Neeraj Sahu and Partipal Sinharee.
The case highlights the growing prevalence of online fraud schemes, where criminals impersonate law enforcement officials to manipulate victims into making large financial transfers. The police have urged the public to stay vigilant and report any suspicious calls or messages.
