Jamshedpur, Sep 25: The Jamshedpur Police have arrested 27-year-old Nadeem Ansari, a resident of Dobo in Seraikela Kharsawan district, in connection with a major cyber fraud case. Investigations have revealed that over Rs 4 crore 21 lakh were credited and withdrawn from a fake account linked to him within just 10 days. The fraudulent activities were conducted under the guise of investment schemes, duping numerous individuals.

The case came to light after Tanveerul Arefin, a resident of Musabani Mines, filed a complaint with the Jamshedpur Police. He reported that Rs 55 lakh had been fraudulently deposited in various accounts under the pretext of stock market investments. Among these, Tanveerul himself had deposited Rs 10 lakh into a UCO Bank account under the name “NA Tour and Travel.” Upon investigation, it was discovered that Nadeem Ansari was the account holder.

Acting swiftly under the direction of Jamshedpur SSP, a raid team led by the City SP was formed. The team apprehended Nadeem Ansari from his home, along with his mobile phone. During interrogation, Ansari admitted to creating a fake company, NA Tour and Travel, to facilitate cyber fraud. He revealed that he worked alongside associates who conducted the fraud, and he received a 10% commission from the stolen funds.

Further investigations into his iPhone 13 mini confirmed the fraudulent transactions, with incriminating details found in his Gmail account inbox. The police are now pursuing further leads to apprehend the other individuals involved in the scam.
