In a major breakthrough, Mumbai and Jaipur Police successfully apprehended the primary suspect, Meena, believed to be the mastermind behind a sophisticated online scam. The investigation revealed Meena’s involvement in a web of fraudulent activities, including the possession of 1,200 SIM cards and multiple phones. Operating under the guise of a fake company, Meena targeted potential victims online, enticing them with a tempting initial bonus of Rs 200. The scam extended to deceiving individuals into transferring funds through the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and other online methods.
The financial magnitude of the illicit activities came to light as the police disclosed a staggering scam amounting to Rs 1.42 crore. Despite Meena’s attempts to constantly change locations to evade law enforcement, the police successfully tracked and apprehended him using intelligence tools.
