The Delhi Police has arrested two alleged kingpins of a Jamtara-based cyber fraud network who had been absconding for over five years in a case involving the siphoning off of Rs 27.10 lakh through a fake bank website, an official said on Tuesday. The accused, Md Mehruddin Ansari (30) and Md Arsad Ansari (29), surrendered before a court at Patiala House on October 30 and were subsequently arrested, he said.

"The case dates back to July 2021, when a complaint was filed by Bishwajeet Paul, who was allegedly duped after searching for Canara Bank's customer care number on Google in connection with a cheque-related query," police said in a statement.
