The North Cyber Police have arrested three individuals, including an employee of a private bank, for allegedly aiding cyber fraudsters by opening multiple bank accounts used for illegal money transfers. The arrests were made in connection with a Rs 68 lakh cyber fraud case reported earlier this year.

The scam came to light during the investigation of a complaint lodged in January by a 37-year-old IT professional from Borivli, who was duped of R68 lakh by fraudsters while investing in what appeared to be a legitimate share trading opportunity.
