Fraudsters arrested in Asansol after duping victim of Rs 2.62 lakh in KYC scam

Two individuals have been apprehended in Asansol by Bidhannagar cyber crime police following a complaint of fraudulent activity amounting to Rs 2.62 lakh. The incident unfolded on December 23 when a woman reported to the police that she had received a call from an unidentified number, purportedly for updating her KYC details. Subsequently, an OTP was sent to her mobile, which she provided to the caller. Shortly after disclosing the OTP, the woman noticed a staggering sum of Rs 2.62 lakh had vanished from her bank account. Realizing she had fallen victim to a scam, she promptly alerted authorities, leading to an investigation by Bidhannagar cyber crime police.

The investigation swiftly led to the arrest of two suspects identified as Vishal Bauri and Rahul Yadav, both believed to be part of the fraud gang operating in the region. The arrests come as a result of concerted efforts by law enforcement to crack down on fraudulent schemes targeting unsuspecting individuals. The Bidhannagar cyber crime police continue their efforts to ensure justice for victims of such financial scams.
