Surat man held for aiding in cyber fraud

Rajkot: A man from Surat was arrested by Jamnagar cyber crime police for his alleged involvement in defrauding people with the lure of higher returns on investment in cryptocurrency. The accused Mahesh Mungra (37) had allowed the cyber fraudsters to use his bank account to transfer money from the victims.
An FIR was by a man working in a private firm. He alleged that he was duped by cyber crooks using a fake social media profile and lured him into investing in cryptocurrency for higher returns. He had lost about Rs 2 lakh. The police, based on the bank details where the fraudsters parked their money, arrested Mungra. The fraudsters were using this account. Investigation further revealed that Mungra used to withdraw the money from the account through ATM and deposit it in other accounts after deducting his commission.
The mastermind of the scam is still at large.
