The cyber police in Mumbai have arrested six persons for allegedly duping people of lakhs on the pretext of helping them renew, update or top up their insurance policies, an official said.

The fraud came to light earlier this month when a 70-year-old man approached the Central Region Cyber police station with a complaint of cheating, the official said.
The complainant alleged that he was duped of Rs 74.55 lakh by a person, who had called him to renew, update or top up his insurance policy, he said.
