MP man arrested for siphoning Rs.31L from Prayagraj trader
PRAYAGRAJ, Aug. 12 -- A man from Madhya Pradesh has been arrested for allegedly syphoning off Rs.31.34 lakh by misusing a Prayagraj trader's GeM portal login credentials and replacing the trader's registered beneficiary bank account with his own, cybercrime police said on Tuesday.

As a result, GeM payments were credited to his account. Police said the accused received around Rs.31.34 lakh, withdrew part of the money and transferred the rest to other accounts, including one belonging to a woman identified as Karishma Ahirwar.
A trader from Sara Inayat had filed a named complaint against Ahirwar and his female associate at the Cyber Crime police station.

The accused was produced before a court and sent to judicial custody on Tuesday, police said....
