In a major breakthrough, the Odisha Police Crime Branch has arrested Sugata Majumder, a 29-year-old resident of West Bengal’s Nadia district, for allegedly running a large-scale online fraud scheme.
According to officials, Majumder is accused of deceiving investors of Rs1.08 crore through a gaming platform that falsely promised lucrative returns.
The arrest followed a complaint from an investor who claimed he was asked to pay additional funds when attempting to withdraw his investment after initial losses. Police sources confirmed that the investigation is still underway and more victims may surface as the probe deepens.
