Dehradun, June 23 -- Two men from West Bengal were arrested for allegedly participating in a cyber-fraud syndicate that operated across multiple states and siphoned off nearly Rs.24.95 lakh from a private firm's bank account, Special Task Force (STF) officers said on Monday. The arrests were made based on a complaint lodged by a Dehradun resident. Senior Superintendent of Police ( STF) Ajay Singh said the complainant alleged that cyber fraudsters hacked his mobile phone, altered the linked email ID and mobile number, and fraudulently transferred approximately Rs.24.95 lakh from his company's bank account. A case was subsequently registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act, he said. Singh said during the investigation, police obtained transaction details and digital records from banks, telecom service providers and Meta. Acting on specific intelligence, the team arrested Tapan Biswas (45) and Uttam Kumar Das (38) from the Ranaghat area of West Bengal on June 18, he said. He said both accused admitted during interrogation that they supplied bank accounts, ATM cards, SIM cards and banking credentials to cyber criminals in exchange for money. "The accused facilitated the activities of an organised cybercrime network by arranging and supplying bank accounts, ATM cards and SIM cards used in cyber fraud operations," said Singh. During the operation, police recovered 13 debit and ATM cards of different banks, three mobile phones, multiple SIM cards and SIM covers, passbooks, chequebooks, blank cheques, bank account opening forms and other banking documents, said police, adding that the probe was underway....
