The Ludhiana police arrested a man during a special campaign against cyber crime. The accused cheated a bank manager by pretending to be one of the bank’s customers and tricked a bank manager into believing him.
The suspect and his partner sent fake documents to the bank manager and asked him to transfer ₹4.20 lakh from a customer’s bank account to another account. Believing the documents were genuine, the manager transferred the money.
Later, the real account holder received a message showing that money had been transferred from his account. Realising something was wrong, he immediately informed the bank manager, and the fraud was reported.
During the investigation, the cyber crime police arrested Vishal Verma from Pilibhit district in Uttar Pradesh. He was produced in court, and the police took him on remand. During questioning, he shared important information, and the police are now looking for other people involved in the fraud.
Police officials said that with cyber fraud cases increasing, strict action will be taken against such criminals. They also warned the public to stay alert and never share OTPs, passwords, or debit/credit card details, as fraudsters use these tricks to steal money online.
