The Bhayandar unit of the Government Railway Police (GRP) Crime Branch nabbed a cyber criminal from Jamtara, Jharkhand, for allegedly duping an RPF head constable of R98,000 on the pretext of updating the KYC of his bank account. Police seized four mobile phones and 13 SIM cards from him.

According to the police, the head constable in the RPF, attached to the DG office at Churchgate, received several messages and calls last month when he was in a Virar local, from the accused, who posed as a bank official. The accused threatened to close his bank account as he had not updated the KYC of his account. The complainant was asked to send Rs 10 as a processing fee, after which, the accused sent another link. As the complainant clicked on the link, R98,000 was deducted from his account. He then approached the GRP office and registered a complaint.
