The Gurugram Police Cyber Cell has arrested Asim Mandal, a resident of Belsinga in District 24 South Parganas, West Bengal, for his involvement in a fake digital arrest scam. Mandal allegedly posed as a CBI Police Officer to deceive victims. The case came to light after a complaint was lodged at the Cyber Police Station in Manesar.
A police team led by Assistant Commissioner of Police Priyanshu Diwan and Inspector Manoj Kumar traced and apprehended Mandal from West Bengal on Sunday. Investigations revealed that Mandal played a crucial role in the scam by providing a bank account used to transfer the defrauded money. Authorities continue to probe the case for further leads.
