The Mungeli police in Chhattisgarh was quickly apprehended in an International Cyber Crime racket, which has drawn the attention of not only the police department but also the society. In an incident described wherein ₹7.5 lakhs was fraudulently withdrawn from a doctor, the police of Chhattisgarh arrested the accused from Kerala. The same criminal was known to both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh police forces, and it was to the Mungeli police that Fawaz finally fell into the hands of. The operation happened at the time when chiefs of police and range commissioners convened in the capital; the case became the main topic of discussion at the meeting.
Despite Chhattisgarh becoming part of the cybercrime map, this much speed and efficiency in tackling it up by the local police department has given new hope to the victim, Dr Deepak Laj from Lorami. Dr Laj had also fallen into the scam by breaking the fixed deposit and transferring ₹7.5 lakhs to Fawaz after that. The turning point in the case arrived as the Mungeli police went to the Malappuram district in Kerala and arrested Fawaz.
In a new twist, the police also arrested another suspect, Harikrishnan K., an advocate by profession from the same district. Money of ₹ 5,79,000 transferred by the doctors was found in Harikrishnan’s possession. Besides, investigations showed that over ₹ 6 lakhs were recovered from the advocate while Fawaz had been arrested for having the money transferred into his account.
The police are now investigating whether or not Harikrishnan also becomes involved with this d sender cyber fraud group. On the other hand, the Mungeli police team was able to nab Fawaz and produce him before the court and was remanded to judicial custody, where he has been moved to Mungeli. The case still goes on as the police expand more on the probe of the huge scale of the cybercrime group.
