The Cyber Cell unit of Gurugram Police has successfully solved a cyber fraud case worth Rs 1.78 crore involving the creation of fake bank accounts for cyber criminals. The investigation led to the arrest of Mukul Suhalka, a former employee of IndusInd Bank, and his associate, Prahlad Suhalka. Both were arrested from Udaipur and Chittorgarh, respectively.
