Hyberabad cybercrime police have arrested Sandeep Roop and Avinash Kumar from Bengaluru in connection with a Rs2.7 crore corporate impersonation fraud targeting Greenko Group, a prominent renewable energy firm.
The incident, which took place in the first week of June 2025, involved fraudsters impersonating Greenko Group’s Managing Director using his display picture on WhatsApp. By posing as the MD, the accused coerced the company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) into transferring funds under the guise of urgent client payments.
The CFO, believing the request to be genuine, transferred Rs1.95 crore and Rs75 lakh, totaling Rs2.7 crore, to an account reportedly held by a firm named ONITSUKA Developers.
The scam was uncovered after the transaction details were forwarded to the real MD’s office, prompting an internal red flag. A case was immediately registered, and during the subsequent probe, Hyberabad police arrested the two suspects during a raid in Bengaluru.
With these arrests, the total number of accused held in this case stands at four.
