Nagpur: The Cyber Police Station, Nagpur, arrested two men from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, for allegedly cheating a complainant and his associates of Rs13.27 lakh in an online investment scam.
The fraud began in November 2025, when the accused posed as representatives of an investment company and sent fake emails promising high returns. Victims were lured into transferring funds under these false pretenses.
Following analysis of the money trail and coordinated action, police arrested Brijesh Suryavanshi (37) and Deepak Subhash Chandra Agarwal (48) on February 7, 2026. Investigators said Deepak allegedly opened mule bank accounts using stolen documents, routed the cheated money through these accounts, and later dissipated the funds with other associates.
Police believe additional victims may be identified during further interrogation. So far, the court has ordered the refund of Rs6 lakh to the complainant’s account.
The Cyber Police continue investigations to track the remaining funds and identify other accomplices involved in the scam.
