A special group of Kerala has made progress in monitoring those who have arrested digital arrests behind the main fraud in which the older couple lost 18.15 Lakh. The defendants, identified as KV Arjun, 24, and CV Shidin, 23, from Kozhikode, were charged on July 21st after an eight -month -old probe into the incident.
Police sources said two of Balussery were suspected of receiving technical support from another gang to run similar fraud throughout the state, and details of their operations could be brought to light within a few weeks. Both of them participated in fraud by pretending to be coercive officers from the bombai, they said.
“The natives of Kozhikode contacted last year from Thrissur to WhatsApp an older couple from Thrissur claiming that there were some money laundering against them. They were blackmailing money in various installments. The case was cracked after exploring hundreds of bank accounts and details of transactions, he said.
According to police sources, both originally asked the couple to appear in front of the “coercive group” in Mumbai and cooperate with “investigations”. Note the pair reluctance and later reported that their bank accounts would be frozen soon as part of the legal measures. The victims reportedly believed that as such they could explain the details of several bank accounts under the “scanner”.
“When exploring data on WhatsApp, there were initially doubts that digital fraud was run by a criminal gang from some North Indian states. The details of the Kerarals appeared after the investigation with the support of the Hi-Tech Cyber investigation cell,” Cybernetics police officer said. He said that Hi-Tech Crime Investigation Cell will be able to break several similar incidents in a short time.
