the district cybercrime police arrested Mohammed Jaffer, a cybercriminal, at Hubli in Karnataka for allegedly threatening and robbing a retired employee from Khammam.
Claiming to be from the Mumbai police, Jaffer threatened Nagula Brahmam, a retired employee residing in Teachers Colony, Khammam city, falsely accusing him of involvement in a money laundering case and warning him of arrest.
In October 2024, Jaffer successfully extorted Rs 1.12 crore from Brahmam through multiple money transfers. Following his arrest, he was presented before the cybercrime court and sent to remand.
Karnataka Police Commissioner Dutt lauded DSP (cybercrime) Ch RV Phaninder, SIs Ranjith Kumar, Vijayakumar, and the cybercrime police station staff for their crucial role in the swift investigation and arrest of the accused.
