Kolkata: The recent arrest of Yogesh Dua from Delhi's Vivek Vihar area led investigators to uncover a sophisticated digital fraud network allegedly managed by his brother, operating between Delhi and Bengaluru. The arrest, reported by TOI in its Friday edition, revealed an elaborate scheme involving skilled operatives recruited with lucrative incentives. The Dua brothers are involved in 930 digital arrest cases.
The case, being investigated by Kolkata Cyber Police, involves a fraud of Rs 47 lakh where the victim was extorted through threats related to alleged drug trafficking and money laundering. The breakthrough came after tracking a money trail of Rs 7.4 lakh deposited in a Jana Small Finance Bank account.
Yogesh Dua was arrested last month, but his questioning was stalled. Cops finally produced him in a police court on Saturday and took him into police custody.
