Two people were arrested on Sunday in connection with a major cyber fraud case, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to four. Announcing the development, DSP Wahiuddin stated that the newly arrested suspects were traced based on the confessions of two earlier apprehended gang members.
The suspects were identified as Santosh Kushal Chand Thawar of Pune, Maharashtra, and Patel Daval Kumar Gandalal of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
At a press conference, DSP Wahiuddin explained that the case began when a woman from Kagaznagar filed a complaint at the Kagaznagar Town Police Station. Town Inspector K. Prem Kumar registered the case and launched an investigation.
According to officials, between May 22 and June 17, 2025, unidentified fraudsters created WhatsApp groups to lure the victim with promises of high returns on investments. Using fabricated trading screenshots and false guarantees, the scammers convinced her to transfer Rs76,50,000 into multiple bank accounts.
Thawar, who previously worked as a bank loan facilitator, admitted his role in facilitating fraudulent stock-trading transactions. He was arrested in Pune and transported to Kagaznagar after completing legal procedures. Gandalal was arrested in Ahmedabad and brought to Kagaznagar for further investigation.
