The Hyderabad cybercrime police arrested a man from Mumbai for allegedly cheating people on the pretext of providing part-time and work-from-home jobs.
The police said the accused, Mohammed Sohyab Bablu Khan, had cheated a Hyderabad resident by making him pay ₹2.38 lakh. It all started through a job offer on WhatsApp and Telegram apps. The accused initially paid him ₹500 as bonus to gain his trust, but he was later made to deposit money in a number of accounts.
Also, Mr. Bablu Khan allegedly provided bank accounts to cybercriminals. The accused opened bank accounts in his name and in the names of others and fake companies. These accounts were used by other fraudsters to route transactions.
