The Mumbai Crime Branch’s Cyber Police traced and arrested one member from a gang of cyber fraudsters in Jharkhand who allegedly duped 26 customers of the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) by impersonating officials of the power utility and tricking customers to reveal their bank details, which were later used to transfer money from their bank accounts.
The accused, Charku Mandal, 27, is a resident of Darbe village in Deoghar district. Mandal is a college dropout, runs a mobile shop and stays with his wife and child, police said. He and two other aides, who are on the run, targeted mobile numbers that were issued in Maharashtra.
