Kolkata man arrested for fraud of 1 crore turned out to be victim himself

The person arrested for a Rs 1 crore fraud turned out to be a victim himself. Lalbazar Cyber Police discovered this during their investigation. The arrested man, Suraj Singh, had already returned the full amount to the actual victim. Police claim that the real mastermind used Suraj to cover his tracks.

Recently, a 71-year-old from Palm Avenue, Karaya, was defrauded of Rs 1 crore. The police arrested Suraj from Kharda, as Rs 55 lakh was found in his account. During questioning, Suraj, an honest businessman running Shyamsundar Enterprise in Delhi, revealed his side. A customer repeatedly bought batteries from him, gaining his trust. One Saturday, the customer ordered batteries but claimed the bank was closed and couldn't pay. On Monday, Rs 55 lakh was deposited into Suraj's account without his knowledge of its fraudulent origin.

Suraj provided all transaction details to the investigators and returned Rs 1 crore 10 lakh to the original victim. He then got bail and filed a separate fraud complaint in Delhi.
