Cases of cyber crime are coming up in Maharashtra these days, which you will be shocked to know. Two such cases of cyber fraud have come to light in Maharashtra, in which not millions but crores were stolen. First case in bank Rs. 40 crore fraud and in another case the culprit tried to defraud the Qatari royal family by using the name of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel of the Ajit group. However, in both these cases the authorities took immediate action.
A cyber fraudster in the name of NCP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel demanded money from the Qatari royal family. The accused had earlier purchased the same VIP number as Praful Patel. After getting the VIP number, the accused posted the profile picture of Praful Patel on the social media handle WhatsApp, after which he demanded money from the royal family of Qatar in the name of Praful Patel with the intention of defrauding the royal family of Qatar. The cyber scammer thought that the Qatari royal family would not recognize its impostor, but that did not happen, leaving the family suspicious of the accused’s message.
The royal family was suspicious of this message
In fact, on July 20, the accused sent a message to the Royal Family, after which the family became suspicious of the message, as the family itself did not believe that Praful Patel, who is a businessman and leader himself, would ask why? Money from the royal family in Qatar. The family themselves contacted Prafull Patel. He briefed Patel about the matter fully, Patel himself was shocked to know about this cyber fraud. Neta immediately informed Maharashtra Cyber Cell about this, after which Cyber registered an FIR under IT Act 66D.
The police arrested the thug
Acting in this matter, the cyber cell immediately started an investigation and arrested the accused Rahul Kant. Investigation by the cyber cell revealed that the accused Rahul Kant himself lived in Juhu, a posh area of Mumbai. Further investigation of the accused is underway
Multi-crore bank fraud
Maharashtra Cyber Cell has registered a case of fraud and robbery from a private bank which is rare in the history of the country. Bank fraud is not new, but a 40 crore fraud is not a trivial matter. In fact, cyber scams targeted a private bank and attempted to loot around Rs 40 crore. In cyber fraud, the scammers made such preparations that the money started to be transferred immediately.
8 crores have been transferred
8 crores were transferred from the bank in one go, at the same time a senior official of the bank noticed the fraud. He saw how and where such huge sums were being transferred. The officer immediately informed the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. Cybercell immediately alerted the bank and the bank was able to stop the fraud of around Rs 32 crore. An online fraudster was not entirely successful in his plot to rob a bank vault.
However, now the cyber cell suspects that an employee or official within the bank may be involved in this fraud, in such a situation all people are targeted and the police have not arrested anyone in this case yet, but the investigation is going on from every aspect. is
