Officials of the Pune Cyber Crime Cell, with the help of students from IIT-Kanpur and its former director professor Sanjay Dhande, arrested a 25-year-old youth from Mumbai for allegedly holding a beneficiary account into which cyber criminals had transferred money via a couple of transactions. The suspect was identified as Vinayak Mahadev Trilotkar, a resident of Lower Parel.

Net loss: Professor Sanjay Dhande’s bank account at the ICICI’s Aundh branch was hacked by unidentified suspects, who withdrew Rs 19 lakh from it, in the first week of September. Before they hacked his account, the culprits blocked Dhande’s SIM card to prevent him from receiving account-related alerts from the bank. File Pic
