“Nadim Ansari used to run the racket of cybercrime along with several others. The matter came to limelight after a Mosabani resident identified as Tanbirul Arfin had lodged an FIR with the Jamshedpur police complaining about losing Rs 10 lakh by the cyber criminals recently, ” Rishabh said while briefing the newsmen on Wednesday.
The senior police officer said in the initial probe it was established that the accused had opened a Current Account with the Uco Bank for a fake company NA Tour & Travels where money fraudulently accumulated from the investors would be deposited.
“It was learned and verified that Nadim Ansari and his gang had made the investors deposit over Rs 4.21 crores within 10 days period and the whole amount had been withdrawn soon. The accused who was arrested from his house today has also confessed his crime, ” the police officer said.
According to Garg, Nadim Ansari would work to run the racket for a commission of 10 percent of the money duped from the investors.
Rishabh Garg said the probe is still on, adding that more arrests are likely soon.
