A complaint filed by Rashmi at the Range Cyber Police Station has led to the arrest of Somnath Sardar, a 24-year-old resident of Kolkata, in connection with a massive Rs 88 lakh fraudulent share trading scam. The complaint detailed how the accused facilitated the scam by providing the bank account used for transactions related to the scheme.
Somnath Sardar, who operates a computer shop in Kolkata, was arrested after investigations revealed his involvement in the fraudulent operations. Rs 57 lakh has been frozen as part of the ongoing investigation. This arrest is part of a larger crackdown on the scam, with four other suspects from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Chennai already apprehended in connection with the case.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to trace additional individuals involved in this widespread cyber fraud and share trading scam.
