The Cybercrime police arrested M. Ramprasad Sahebrao Salunke, a 33-year-old resident of Pune, Maharashtra, on Thursday for allegedly aiding cyber fraudsters by supplying them with bank account details. Salunke is accused of being involved in four cases of Fedex and digital fraud in Telangana.
The bank accounts provided by Salunke were used to facilitate money transactions in at least 22 cyber fraud cases across India, according to police sources. These fraudulent activities spanned several regions and involved a range of online scam operations, further complicating the efforts to combat cybercrime.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to identify other individuals involved in the broader network of cyber frauds linked to Salunke’s accounts. The arrest is a significant step in tackling the growing issue of digital fraud and the role that facilitators, like Salunke, play in enabling these illegal activities.
