Police on Thursday arrested Omkar Singh, 45, from Parbatsar in Didwana-Kuchaman district, in connection with a digital fraud case in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Singh allegedly provided his bank account to the main accused in the scam.
The incident came to light after Anurag Kumar of Kanpur reported to the cyber cell on January 24 that he had been tricked by a caller posing as a BHEL representative. The caller falsely claimed that a drug-laced consignment was being shipped from Mumbai to China under Anurag’s name. Between November 18 and 27, Anurag was coerced into transferring Rs 5.18 lakh to multiple accounts.
Ajmer SP Vandita Rana stated that Omkar Singh was arrested after the Ajmer cyber cell traced one of the accounts used in the fraudulent transactions.
