Gurugram, Oct 30 Four men allegedly duped a Gurugram resident of Rs 1.90 lakh by sending him a fraudulent link on the pretext of helping him redeem his credit card reward points, police said on Friday.
The four accused were arrested from Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday and are being questioned, they added.
According to police, the victim lodged a complaint on July 24, stating that he had received a link promising to help him redeem his credit card reward points. After accessing the link, cyber fraudsters fraudulently withdrew Rs 1.90 lakh from his bank account.
Following the complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections of law at the Cyber Crime Police Station East.
Acting on the complaint, a police team arrested the four accused from Uttar Pradesh.
They were identified as Alok Kumar and Shailendra Singh alias Nittu, both from from Jhansi district, Krishna Kant alias Priyanshu Rajput and Saurabh Ali, both residents of Jalaun district, police said.
“During the investigation, it was revealed that the defrauded amount was transferred to a bank account opened in the name of Alok Kumar. He had provided his bank account to Shailendra Singh alias Nittu and Krishna Kant in exchange for a commission of Rs 8,000. The two accused subsequently handed over the bank account to Saurabh Ali on a commission basis,” a senior police officer said.
All four accused were produced before a city court on Thursday. The court granted one-day police remand of Saurabh Ali, while the remaining three were sent to judicial custody, the officer added.
