Kolkata Police have arrested four men from Gujarat for their alleged roles in two significant cyber-fraud cases reported in the city. The accused, taken into custody from Ahmedabad and Surat, are being brought to Kolkata on transit remand for further interrogation.
In the first case, a 44-year-old resident of Tegharia lost Rs24.5 lakh after scammers impersonating representatives of an online investment platform persuaded him to invest through a manipulated mobile application. Following technical surveillance and digital tracing, officers arrested Udaykumar Chauhan (38) and Ashish Kantilal (41) from Ahmedabad.
The second case involves a share-trading scam of about Rs2.8 crore, in which Rajarhat resident Jayant Sarkar was defrauded. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, police arrested Ravani Vishal Prashotambhai (35) and Lunagariya Mehulbhai Banubhai (35) from the Sarthana area in Surat.
Both investigations are ongoing as police work to uncover the full network behind these multi-crore cybercrimes.
