Superintendent of Police Vikrant Bhushan provided an update on a recent cyber fraud case involving a substantial financial loss. The arrested suspects were identified as Moin Ahmed and Atiq Ahmed from Rasulabad, Kanpur Dehat, Wasim Ansari from Minhajpur, Prayagraj, and Hamid Raja from Kareli, Prayagraj. After their presentation in court, the suspects were taken into police custody with a four-day remand for further questioning.
Bhushan confirmed that during the remand, authorities aim to recover the defrauded amount, as well as the mobile phones used in the scam. The case was triggered by a complaint from Harpreet Singh, who was deceived by the accused through a Telegram message promising high returns on stock market investments. As a result, Singh lost a total of Rs 22,82,239.
The investigation, initiated on January 27 following Singh’s complaint, led to the arrests of four individuals from Kanpur. Bhushan reassured the public that the investigation remains active, and anyone found linked to the fraud network will be held accountable under the law.
