In a follow-up to the ‘digital arrest fraud’ involving a 66-year-old yoga teacher from Kandivli West, the North cyber police have arrested Asad Shaikh, 30, Goregaon East, believed to be the last operational link of the racket within India.

Shaikh, arrested last week, allegedly functioned as a “handler” for a cyber fraud gang. Police said, “beyond his level, the money trail and command structure extend overseas, making his arrest crucial”. Efforts are underway to trace the gang’s international connections.
