The Malappuram Cyber Police have arrested 34-year-old Albin Johny, a resident of Thalappalam in Kottayam, in connection with a massive extortion case involving Rs93 lakh.
Johny allegedly duped a resident of Edappal by staging a fake ‘digital arrest’ to pressure the victim into paying large sums of money. The fraudulent scheme exploited fear and deception to successfully extort the hefty amount.
Authorities have registered a case and are investigating further to identify any accomplices involved in the scam.
