The Hyberabad police have arrested Suresh Kumar Babulal for his involvement in a ‘digital arrest’ fraud case, in which the suspects allegedly conned a victim out of Rs1.37 crore.
According to the police, Babulal, along with two accomplices—Neeraj Sahu and Partipal Sinharee, who are still absconding—impersonated Mumbai police officials. The fraudsters falsely accused the victim of being involved in money laundering activities and threatened him with serious legal consequences.
Under duress, the victim was coerced into transferring Rs1.37 crore into a bank account controlled by Suresh Kumar Babulal. Following the transfer, the victim realized he had been scammed, and an investigation was launched.
While Suresh Kumar Babulal has been arrested, efforts are ongoing to track down his absconding accomplices, Neeraj Sahu and Partipal Sinharee. The Hyberabad police are continuing their investigation into the fraudulent scheme, which highlights the growing concerns of cyber-related financial crimes.
