Gumla, Jharkhand – October 13: In a significant crackdown on cybercrime, Jharkhand Police have arrested Lukram Dinesh Maitai, a resident of Imphal East, Manipur, for allegedly siphoning off Rs8.45 lakh from a bank account belonging to Gumla resident Amruudin Khan.
The fraud came to light after Khan lodged a complaint on September 12, reporting unauthorized withdrawals from his two bank accounts.
According to Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Suresh Prasad Yadav, investigations uncovered that a total of Rs10.75 lakh had been illegally transferred from Khan’s accounts. The money trail led to an account operated by Maitai, a resident of Kharson Makha Lekai under Lamlai police station in Imphal East district.
A special police team from Jharkhand was dispatched to Manipur to verify transaction details and apprehend the suspect. Upon interrogation, Maitai confessed to withdrawing ₹8 lakh on September 11, a day before the victim filed the complaint.
The accused is currently in custody, and further investigations are underway to uncover if he is part of a larger cyber fraud network.
