The Hyderabad police’s cybercrime wing arrested seven individuals on February 21 in two separate digital fraud cases.
In the first case, two men were detained for their involvement in defrauding an 82-year-old retired engineer of Rs 1.38 crore. The accused are 46-year-old Sankar Ganesh Adaikkalam, who provided bank account details to the fraudsters in return for a 10% commission, and 45-year-old Elanchezhiyan Sathiyavel, who was tasked with collecting and distributing accounts to other members of the criminal syndicate.
