A 31-year-old accountant working in a share-trading firm here was arrested for allegedly siphoning off Rs 2.73 crore from a client's account, police said on Sunday.


The Mumbai crime branch arrested the accused from the western suburb of Kandivali on Saturday based on a complaint lodged by his employer at MRA Marg police station in January last year, an official said.


As per the complaint, a person had opened a demat account through the shar-trading company and the accused had helped him with the same, he said.

The accused, who had been on the run, was apprehended based on a tip-off, while another person involved in the crime is absconding, he said.

A case under section 420 (cheating) and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act has been registered, the official added.
