Khar police have arrested a 25-year-old delivery boy, Avinash Kharat, for allegedly participating in a mule account racket that led to a cyber fraud of over `7.42 crore. The case was uncovered while investigating an online cheating complaint. The victim had reportedly been contacted through Telegram and offered task-based work before being cheated of `4.07 lakh.
Kharat, along with another accused Vikas Bhujbal, 24, of Pimpri-Chinchwad, are the main suspects. Police discovered that Kharat used the address of a flat he purchased near Pune to open 13 of the 22 mule accounts, while Bhujbal was associated with the remaining nine. It is believed that some accounts were opened using false identities.
The gang is suspected to be based in Rajasthan, and police are continuing their investigation to identify additional suspects involved in the scheme.
