PTI | May 3, 2010



The Cyber Crime police here have arrested one person from Maharashtra for cheating a man to the tune of Rs 10.7 lakh on the pretext of providing him job, Crime Investigation Department officials said today.

The victim, A R Saxena, was contacted through internet by some fraudsters, including a Nigerian, who sent him e-mails regarding a job in a Gulf-based airline and fraudulently obtained Rs 10.7 lakh from him, police said.

Saxena lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police Station here on March 9 following which one person, Rahul Koshte was traced and arrested from Badlapur in Thane district of Maharashtra on Wednesday.

He was remanded in judicial custody.

Police said a hunt has been launched to nab an unidentified Nigerian, also suspected to be involved in the online fraud, besides two others -- Sanjeev Bose and Omchand Choudary, who are said to be having contacts with some Nigerian fraudsters.

According to CID officials, the money was transferred in three accounts with a private bank in Mumbai. One belonged to D B Thupe, whom Rahul had allegedly lured that if he allows maximum amounts of fraudulent money into his account, it would facilitate him getting loans for his business and commission on every such deposit.
