Delhi-based Loan Fraudster Arrested for Cheating Hyderabadi

Hyderabad: In another cyber criminal case, a city resident had fallen prey to cyber cheats from Delhi. Hyderabad Central Crime Station (CCS) Police arrested the cyber criminal Sanjeev Kumar in the national capital for cheating Hari Satish in the guise of sanctioning vehicle loan at a low interest rate.

According to the details given by DCP Avinash Mahanti, Hari Satish, a resident of Tilaknagar, was seeking for a vehicle loan last year. In the process, he got a call saying it was from ‘Central Finance Company’ and were offering vehicle loans at low interest rates. Later, Hari Satish was made to believe and furnished all his personal details including his Aadhaar, bank accounts details including a few passport size photos of him to the fraudsters.

The Delhi-based cyber criminal, after collecting the personal data of loan seekers via online, was resorting to cheat by conning them out of lakhs of rupees in the name of processing fees.

Later, in the name of processing fees, Satish was conned to deposit Rs.1.47 lakhs in various amounts but the loan was not sanctioned at all. Then he realized and approached CCS police and lodged a complaint saying he was cheated by cyber criminals in the garb of a vehicle loan at low interest.

Police during their investigation found that the crime was carried out from Delhi and left for the national capital to launch a manhunt for the accused. They finally traced and arrested the criminal Sanjeev Kumar who belongs to Mohan Garden in Delhi on Monday.

After producing the accused in the local court in Delhi, police shifted him to Hyderabad on transit bail on the previous day. Sanjeev Kumar was running a company on the name of ‘CFC Services’ in Delhi while working for a private company simultaneously, said the police. Police recovered a bank cheque book, mobile phone and a laptop from the cheater.
