The Cyber Police Station, Nagpur, has arrested two individuals from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for allegedly defrauding a complainant and associates of Rs13.27 lakh through an online investment scam.
The fraud reportedly began in November 2025, when the accused posed as representatives of an investment company, sending fake emails promising high returns. Victims were convinced to deposit funds into designated bank accounts. A case was registered on November 18, 2025.
After tracing the money trail, the cyber team apprehended Brijesh Suryavanshi (37) and Deepak Subhash Chandra Agarwal (48) on February 7. Investigators stated that Agarwal allegedly created mule bank accounts using stolen documents to channel the defrauded funds and dissipate them with the help of other associates.
Police believe further interrogations may reveal additional similar crimes. The court has so far ordered a refund of Rs6 lakh to the complainant’s account.
